Cripple Xie Ting—Are You Telling Me What to Do?

Under the terrified gazes of the crowd.

Lin Tianci's expression did not change as his foot came down without hesitation.

Xie Ting immediately let out a scream.

Under Lin Tianci's terrifying force, Xie Ting's palm was crushed flat beneath his foot!

Her knuckles protruded, and blood sprayed everywhere!

The stench of blood spread through the area.

Countless stunned eyes stared at Xie Ting's mangled right hand.

Lin Tianci's ruthless, decisive style of attack was deeply etched into their minds.

This impression would likely remain in their hearts for the rest of their lives!

The Lin Family has produced a real ruthless figure! Many people thought to themselves.

As for the Xie Family Juniors, when had they ever witnessed such a scene?

Quite a few of them vomited outright upon seeing Xie Ting's bloodied, mangled palm.

Xie Ting clutched her hand and wailed nonstop. There was no trace left of her previous arrogant, overbearing demeanor.

The Lin Family members were likewise somewhat stunned by Lin Tianci's clean, decisive kick.

But once they recovered, looks of immense satisfaction appeared on their faces.

Over the past few years, the Xie Family and Lei Family had relied on the formidable strength of Lei Li and Xie Tingting to suppress the Lin Family's younger generation.

The Lin Family Juniors had accumulated grievances for a long time.

Therefore, even though Lin Tianci had struck heavily, they only found it satisfying.

Soon, a man and a woman arrived at the plaza.

The woman resembled Xie Ting somewhat, but she possessed a touch more nobility. Her facial features were also slightly softer than Xie Ting's, making her seem far less harsh and aggressive.

She was naturally Xie Ting's elder sister, the foremost among the Xie Family Juniors—Xie Yingying!

The man beside Xie Yingying was tall and powerfully built, his muscles bulging even more than Lin Hu's.

The aura he inadvertently emitted placed considerable pressure on the Lin Family Juniors.

This young man was naturally Lei Li of the Lei Family.

At that moment, the miserable state of the Xie Family Juniors entered Xie Yingying's sight.

Xie Yingying's face immediately darkened.

One Body Tempering Sixth Layer junior had died, while Xie Zhen of the Body Tempering Seventh Layer had his Dantian destroyed and could no longer cultivate. He could only live as a cripple from now on.

And her younger sister Xie Ting had her palm crushed beyond repair. Even if it healed in the future, her right hand could never grow back.

There was hardly any difference between that and being crippled!

Upon seeing Lei Li and Xie Yingying appear, many people looked at Lin Tianci with sympathy.

Two Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivators had arrived. No matter how arrogant Lin Tianci was, he had likely reached his end.

Xie Ting, still beneath Lin Tianci's foot, cried out sharply, "Sister, save me! Hurry and save me! This madman is going to kill me!"

She had truly been frightened by Lin Tianci's methods. She had merely slapped Lin Xia, yet not only had Lin Tianci struck back, he had even crippled her hand!

"You must be that Lin Tianci from the Lin Family who has recently been making quite a name for himself." Xie Yingying practically gritted out the words.

"What an obvious question." Lin Tianci sneered.

"Are you deaf? I told you to stop just now. Do you know that if you bring that foot down, you'll bring ruin upon the Lin Family?"

Xie Yingying watched Lin Tianci's indifferent expression, and her anger nearly boiled over as she prepared to attack him.

"You told me to stop? Are you telling me what to do? Are you worthy?" Lin Tianci frowned.

Then, beneath the watchful gazes of Lei Li and Xie Yingying, Lin Tianci kicked Xie Ting directly in the Dantian.

Xie Ting merely groaned before fainting on the spot.

"Lin Tianci, are you insisting on this? Are you declaring yourselves enemies of both the Xie Family and Lei Family?" Xie Ting took a deep breath, a trace of Killing Intent flashing through her eyes.

"Enemies?" Lin Tianci scoffed. "Do your Lei and Xie Families even deserve to be my enemies?"

Even if he had not acted today, the conflict between the Lin Family and the Xie and Lei Families had already become irreconcilable.

At present, the four families had merely achieved a temporary superficial balance.

Yet in private, the four families remained locked in endless conflicts, using every possible method against one another.

Thus, these four families would sooner or later engage in a fight to the death. When that time came, Qingyang Town's forces would undergo a massive reshuffling.

For now, the Lei and Xie Families had joined forces, while the Lin Family had allied with the Savage Blade Martial Hall. The high-level strength of both sides was roughly equal.

Neither side possessed the ability to settle the matter in one decisive blow. Even if they fought now, they could only achieve a costly victory, and might ultimately allow other forces to reap the benefits.

"So presumptuous. In the end, you may not even know how you died." Lei Li narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Tianci.

Though Lei Li had spoken only one sentence since arriving, no one dared underestimate him beneath the pressure of his powerful aura.

The Lin Family members, on the other hand, looked at Lei Li as though facing a formidable enemy!

"Presumptuous?" Lin Tianci shook his head disdainfully. "The Xie Family Juniors were the ones who acted improperly. They mocked our Lin Family first.

"Your Xie Family's upbringing is so deplorable. I merely acted a little and administered a small punishment, helping your Xie Family discipline its juniors. You should be thanking me, yet instead, you dare threaten me so presumptuously."

"I think it is your Xie Family that is being presumptuous."

"Besides, before you acted, did you not bother to ask? Lin Xia is my, Lin Tianci's, Younger Sister. If you dared lay a hand on Lin Xia, then if not for the Xie Family's sake, that vile woman would have lost far more than just her hand today."

After saying that, Lin Tianci swept his gaze over the Xie Family members. "None of you will leave this plaza alive!"

Suddenly, a chilling Killing Intent burst forth from Lin Tianci's eyes.

Had he not been mindful of the Lin Family's overall situation, knowing that if so many juniors died here, the Xie Family would likely declare all-out war on the Lin Family, Lin Tianci would have acted decisively long ago and ensured that none of them could leave alive.

"This Lin Tianci truly is worthy of being the Lin Family's eldest grandson. He has some of Clan Leader Lin's bearing from back then."

Everyone's eyes instinctively focused on Lin Tianci as they could not help commenting.

"More than just some. When Clan Leader Lin first came to Qingyang Town, he was likely not as commanding as Lin Tianci is now."

Lin Tianci's aura surged skyward. Though he had only released a small portion of it, Lei Li and Xie Yingying's expressions changed.

From Lin Tianci, they actually sensed an aura no weaker than their own!

"What is going on today? Since when did the Marketplace become so lively?"

Just then, a hearty but discordant laugh suddenly rang out from nearby.

Several figures then leaped down from a nearby pavilion and strode into the plaza.

These people were not much older than the juniors present. They wore identical outfits, and an emblem was embroidered upon each of their chests: a large saber dancing like a raging gale.

The Savage Blade Martial Hall!
