Lei and Xie Families' Ambush, One Punch Kill! (3)

Lei and Xie Families' Ambush? One Punch Kill! (3)

Savage Blade Martial Hall was one of the fastest-rising powers in Qingyang Town.

Although it had been established in Qingyang Town for less time than the Lin Family, no one dared underestimate it.

Naturally, the emergence of Savage Blade Martial Hall had drawn considerable attention.

The vigorous middle-aged man who had spoken earlier was undoubtedly the Hall Master of Savage Blade Martial Hall, Savage Thunder Blade Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng was somewhat lean, with a faint smile on his lips. Several crisscrossing saber scars covered his face, the longest running straight from his forehead to the corner of his mouth.

Those scars added a touch of ferocity to Luo Cheng, giving him an imposing air even when he was not angry.

The saber resting on his shoulder radiated chilling Cold Qi, with arcs of electricity occasionally flickering across its blade.

"Luo Cheng can be said to be the pillar of Savage Blade Martial Hall. Savage Blade Martial Hall was able to gain a foothold in Qingyang Town largely because of him. Looking across all of Qingyang Town, fewer than five people could fight him without being defeated."

Lin Ken quietly introduced Savage Blade Martial Hall to Lin Tianci.

"Mm." Lin Tianci nodded slightly.

To develop such a massive force in Qingyang Town while enduring the immense pressure from the Lei and Xie Families, Luo Cheng's strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

"Luo Cheng is the kind of man who fights without regard for his life. Back when he wanted to establish Savage Blade Martial Hall, he fought Lei Bao of the Lei Family on the platform. In the end, even at the cost of serious injuries, he still slashed Lei Bao fiercely across the chest."

"After that incident, the Lei and Xie Families no longer dared make any overt moves against Savage Blade Martial Hall."

As Lin Ken explained, the members of Savage Blade Martial Hall also arrived before the Lin Family and began chatting familiarly with elders such as Lin Zhentian and Lin Ken.

Because of the Lei and Xie Families' exclusionary attitude, Savage Blade Martial Hall and the Lin Family had unexpectedly developed a fairly good relationship.

There was not the slightest hint of hostility as the two families spoke.

"Lin Tianci, I knew you would take part in this hunt." A lean figure darted out from behind Luo Cheng.

That figure was naturally Wu Yun, whom Lin Tianci had met once at the Marketplace.

"Mm, long time no see." Lin Tianci smiled and nodded at Wu Yun.

"I heard that the Lei Family and the Xie Family are working together for this hunt. They will probably join forces from the very beginning.

No matter which side we face, we will probably suffer some losses. So if there is a chance, our two families should cooperate this time, lest they join forces and drive us out of the hunt."

"Oh? Is this the genius from your Lin Family who has recently become famous throughout Qingyang Town?" Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Luo Cheng, who had been talking with Lin Zhentian, turned and looked at Lin Tianci.

"Lin Tianci greets Hall Master!" Luo Cheng was, after all, a renowned expert in Qingyang Town, so Lin Tianci clasped his fists respectfully.

"I have also heard about what happened at the Marketplace that day. Your Lin Family has produced quite an extraordinary genius." After giving Lin Tianci a slightly appraising look, Luo Cheng suddenly smiled.

A trace of envy flashed through his eyes.

"Your Lin Family is truly fortunate. Before long, the entire structure of Qingyang Town may undergo great changes."

"Then we shall borrow your auspicious words." Lin Zhentian was naturally extremely satisfied with Lin Tianci. After saying this, he and Luo Cheng looked at each other and laughed.

Their hearty laughter carried into the area occupied by the Lei and Xie Families.

Gloom flashed through the eyes of Lei Bao and Xie Qian.

"After this hunt, let us see how your Lin Family can still laugh!" Lei Bao took a deep breath and looked at Lei Li.

"Rest assured, Grandpa. During this hunt, I will make Lin Tianci kneel and beg me for mercy. Then I will drag him onto the Giant Platform and kill him before everyone in Qingyang Town!"

A cold glint also appeared in Lei Li's eyes. Clearly, he had been eagerly awaiting this hunt.

Only after Lei Li spoke did the displeasure in the eyes of the Lei and Xie Families' members fade somewhat.

After chatting briefly with Lin Zhentian, Luo Cheng led the people from Savage Blade Martial Hall to settle elsewhere.

With the arrival of Savage Blade Martial Hall, the forces from Qingyang Town's major factions had basically all gathered.

After waiting a little longer, the stream of people entering the Beast Horn Arena gradually thinned out.

Clearly, everyone who was supposed to come for this hunt had already arrived.

Lei Bao rose to his feet among the Lei Family and swept his sharp gaze across the arena.

Under the pressure of his Sky Realm aura, the clamor within the Beast Horn Arena diminished considerably.

"Everyone, today is the day of Qingyang Town's hunt. I trust you all understand the rules, so I will not say much more."

Lei Bao's deep voice echoed throughout the Beast Horn Arena.

"All juniors who have received an Identity Plate may now enter the Beast Horn Arena and begin the hunt!"

"Tianci, take good care of Dong'er during this hunt. No matter what, the two of you are the future hope of the Lin Family. Your safety is what matters most.

If the Lei and Xie Families resort to any underhanded methods, withdraw decisively. There is no shame in that."

Lin Zhentian took out two blackish-yellow wooden plates. The character Lin was carved on them, with several intricate patterns beneath it.

"Mm." Lin Tianci nodded. Then, amid the somewhat envious gazes of the crowd, he accepted the Identity Token.

Watching figures continuously leap into the forest, Lin Tianci and Lin Dong also came to the edge of the High Platform.

"With me here, your Lei and Xie Families are destined not to win the championship." Before jumping into the forest, Lin Tianci suddenly turned toward the Lei and Xie Families and spoke loudly.

Lei Li and Xie Yingying had just stepped out of the crowd.

At his words, uncontrollable killing intent immediately surged in the eyes of the Lei and Xie Families' members.

Many nearby factions also turned stunned gazes toward Lin Tianci.

Clearly, in their eyes, provoking the Lei and Xie Families before all their experts was no different from courting death.

"It seems this Lin Tianci is destined not to make it out of the hunt."

"What a pity for such a genius."

"Lin Tianci, take a good look at today's sun. As for tomorrow's, you will likely never see it." Lei Li stared coldly at Lin Tianci.

"I'll be waiting." After delivering those three crisp words, Lin Tianci turned around, leaped down from the High Platform, and landed in the forest below.

After descending from the High Platform, Lin Tianci looked at the forest before him.

There were quite a few other juniors around him who were also taking part in the hunt.

Above and around him was a vast sea of dark, densely packed people. Their noisy chatter was enough to make one's head spin.

When he saw that Lin Dong had already charged into the dense forest ahead of him, a smile appeared on Lin Tianci's lips.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Dong would obtain an immense opportunity during this hunt.

A Fire Python Tiger Cub.

Even an ordinary Fire Python Tiger Cub would possess strength comparable to the Sky Realm upon reaching maturity, let alone the Mutated Fire Python Tiger that Lin Dong obtained.

Lin Tianci grew increasingly eager to see what opportunity the system's return would grant him!

Seeing the people around him rush into the woods one after another while warily guarding against each other, Lin Tianci no longer hesitated and slowly entered the forest.

The moment he stepped into the forest, the ceaseless clamor at his ears was blocked out by the shrubs and leaves.

Lin Tianci finally had some peace and quiet.

The few people in the forest watched Lin Tianci with wary expressions.

Clearly, they had all heard of Lin Tianci's reputation and knew that, with their strength, they could not take the Identity Token from him.

Lin Tianci had no interest in these people either.

His purpose in joining this hunt was very clear: the Lei Family and the Xie Family!

However, Lin Tianci keenly noticed that after someone in the distance recognized him, that person quietly retreated, clearly intending to pass along some information.

"Come on, let me see what you have up your sleeves!" Lin Tianci wore a faint sneer as he headed deeper into the forest.

Along the way, Lin Tianci encountered quite a few juniors engaged in difficult battles with the fierce beasts of the forest.

He even saw a severed arm on the ground. Clearly, its owner had already met with disaster.

At last, Lin Tianci stopped.

"I say, you have followed me all this way. Are you still unwilling to come out?" He turned and looked toward the empty forest behind him.

Whoosh! An arrow suddenly shot toward Lin Tianci!

Lin Tianci merely shifted slightly to the side and avoided the arrow. It then plunged fiercely into the tree behind him with such force that it buried itself completely in the trunk.

Several figures then emerged from behind the trees, cruel smiles on their faces.

"Lin Tianci, Lin Tianci. If you had joined forces with Savage Blade Martial Hall, we might truly have had no way to deal with you. But now, it seems there is no need for Brother Lei Li to act."

The leader held a massive machete in his hand, a cruel smile on his face.

The others wore much the same expressions, and excitement could even be sensed from them.

After all, given Lin Tianci's current fame in Qingyang Town, if they could leave him here for good, they would make a huge name for themselves in this hunt!

Quite a few people nearby turned their heads curiously at the sight.

Then, when they saw that the gathered group consisted of people from the Lei and Xie Families, their expressions changed.

With so many experts, Lin Tianci seemed doomed this time!

After all, even if Lin Tianci had reached the Body Tempering Ninth Layer, he would likely be unable to withstand the combined assault of so many people.

"You have all gathered together, which saves me the trouble of finding you one by one." Lin Tianci looked completely relaxed and even smiled.

"Three Body Tempering Eighth Layer cultivators—is that your reliance?"

"Lin Tianci, death is at your door, and you still dare speak so arrogantly?" The Lei Family junior at the front sneered. "I think you have already been scared out of your mind!"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "All of you, attack together! Don't give him any chance to resist!"

Clearly, he feared that if they delayed too long, Savage Blade Martial Hall or other members of the Lin Family would find them.

Then they would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Seeing the juniors of the Lei and Xie Families swarm forward together,

the few onlookers nearby could not help shaking their heads.

The outcome had already been decided. Even if Lin Tianci had three heads and six arms, he would likely be powerless to turn the situation around.

The next moment, a violent explosion rang out from the clearing.

Dust instantly scattered everywhere, while wood chips and leaves flew through the air, blocking everyone's view.

As the dust gradually settled, a figure standing in the clearing drew everyone's attention.

When they saw that figure clearly, all the onlookers' pupils contracted.

Because that figure was none other than Lin Tianci!

The juniors of the Lei and Xie Families lay scattered across the ground.

Blood had splashed everywhere. Several of them had horrifying holes punched through their bodies, their breathing already stopped. They were clearly dead.

Thinking back to the single sound they had heard earlier,

a terrifying thought arose in everyone's mind.

"Lin Tianci killed so many juniors with one punch!"

"This man is truly a monster!"

"A bunch of trash. I thought you might give me at least a little surprise." Lin Tianci curled his lips, his eyes full of disdain.

Then he casually swept his gaze around.

Everyone who met Lin Tianci's eyes could not help lowering their heads, not daring to look at him.

"Why are you still here? Are you planning to fight me for Identity Plates?" Lin Tianci's cold voice fell.

Leaves rustled, and bushes trembled.

Everyone fled in panic, not even daring to leave behind a threat.

The gap between them was simply too great. They could not muster any other thoughts at all.

The people around him vanished in an instant, while Lin Tianci slowly walked over to the juniors of the Lei and Xie Families and collected the Identity Plates hanging from their waists.

The condition of the Lei and Xie Families' juniors was exceedingly miserable.

Most had half their bodies blasted away by Lin Tianci's punch.

The few who remained alive were barely breathing. Without immediate treatment, they likely would not last until the end of this hunt.

Naturally, Lin Tianci would not be kind enough to offer them medicinal herbs. The fact that he did not finish them off was already an act of great mercy.

"Not bad. Ten Identity Plates should be enough this way." After roughly counting the plates, Lin Tianci nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Lin Tianci suddenly heard the faint sound of a tiger's roar coming from the distant forest.

The roar lacked strength, clearly the sound of a tiger already at its limit.

Along with the tiger's roar came considerable commotion.

Lin Tianci's eyes immediately lit up.

"The Fire Python Tiger has finally appeared!"
