Found the Mine, a Fierce Battle with the Black Iron Demonic Leopards!

Found the mine, a fierce battle with the Black Iron Demonic Leopards! At the bottom of the shovel in Lin Dong's hands, there was actually a faint red glow, flickering in and out beneath the soil.

When Lin Zhentian and his two sons saw this, their minds shook, and they stood rooted to the spot.

Lin Fan was also quite delighted. He stepped straight forward, his hands swiftly forming a Spirit Wood Seal, and the Azure Hand Seal slammed down onto that patch of ground.

Bang!

An explosive sound rang out, and the earth around the shovel was instantly shattered!

Lin Fan waved his hand, and a gust from his palm sent the broken soil flying.

In an instant, a layer of red light entered their eyes.

It was a pale red, half-transparent layer of rock.

Vaguely, deep within the rock layer, pieces of pale red crystal could be seen embedded there, flashing with dazzling luster!

"It really is... a Yang Yuan Stone Mine! Heaven blesses my Lin Clan!"

When Lin Zhentian saw the scene beneath the rock layer, he was immediately overjoyed like a child.

Their Lin Clan would change from this day onward! Lin Ken and Lin Xiao were also beyond excited.

Lin Dong's cheeks were likewise filled with excitement.

Qingtan clapped her hands and said happily, "Brother Lin Fan, now I've really made a contribution!"

Lin Fan smiled and rubbed Qingtan's head, chuckling softly. "Not bad. Qingtan has made a great contribution to our family."

Ding! You patted Lin Qingtan and obtained one Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine, Heavenly Yuan Fruit!

Hm? Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine?

Not bad! Hearing the system's reward voice in his mind, Lin Fan could not help but feel delighted.

At the side, when Lin Zhentian heard Qingtan's words, he also laughed loudly. "Not bad. Qingtan has made a great contribution this time!"

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao also nodded with smiles.

Seeing this, Qingtan instead became a little embarrassed. "Mm, it was mainly Brother Lin Fan's credit. If not for Brother Lin Fan, I would have moved away as soon as I felt hot. I definitely wouldn't have investigated deeper."

Lin Zhentian said heartily, "Not bad. Lin Fan also made a great contribution! Mm, Lin Dong was the first to dig up Yang Yuan Stone, so his credit isn't small either."

Lin Dong scratched his head. "I only dug a little deeper along the spot Father had dug. I just happened to be lucky enough to discover the Yang Yuan Stone first."

When Lin Fan heard Lin Dong mention the words "lucky enough," he could not help wanting to laugh, then changed the topic. "Grandfather, we can talk about credit later. The most important thing now is sealing off the news of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, as well as dealing with those two Black Iron Demonic Leopards."

"The matter of this Yang Yuan Stone Mine must absolutely not be learned by the Lei and Xie Families, or else complications will definitely arise."

Lin Zhentian said with relief, "You're right. I will gather men as soon as possible and guard Ironwood Estate so tightly that not even water can leak through."

"As for this Yang Yuan Stone Mine, don't reveal it for now. Carefully select a group of loyal and reliable people, then officially begin mining."

Naturally, no one had any objections to this arrangement.

The next day, Lin Zhentian gathered fifty to sixty percent of the Lin Clan's forces and had Ironwood Estate guarded like an iron barrel.

In addition, Lin Zhentian also transferred many workers from the Lin Clan's other estates to Ironwood Estate.

Of course, the vast majority of them would only be used for logging. Only those absolutely loyal to the Lin Clan would be secretly transferred to mine the Yang Yuan Stone Mine.

However, before mining the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, they still had to deal with the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards first.

To make absolutely certain nothing went wrong, Lin Zhentian directly brought Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and Lin Fan along with him.

Four great Heavenly Yuan Realm experts against two Heavenly Yuan Realm Black Iron Demonic Leopards—the outcome was already decided!

Therefore, when Lin Dong and Qingtan proposed that they wanted to go watch the battle, Lin Zhentian hesitated slightly, then nodded and agreed.

"Lin Dong and Qingtan stay at the mouth of the valley. You three, follow me down!"

At a high point by the mouth of the valley, Lin Zhentian said to the others with a solemn expression.

This had been decided long ago, and no one had any objections.

Lin Zhentian took the lead, while Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and Lin Fan followed closely behind, darting down from the cliff wall on one side of the valley.

Before long, the group of four landed steadily at the bottom of the valley.

"Roar!"

Just as Lin Fan and the other three landed in the valley, the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards alertly discovered them and let out a low roar, seemingly giving a warning.

"Lin Fan and I will deal with one. You two brothers deal with the other. End it quickly. To avoid future trouble, we absolutely cannot let them escape!"

Lin Zhentian stared sharply toward the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards and shouted in a low voice.

"Fan'er, be careful!"

Lin Xiao warned Lin Fan, then rushed off together with Lin Ken toward one of the Black Iron Demonic Leopards.

Lin Zhentian brought Lin Fan with him and launched an attack on the other Black Iron Demonic Leopard.

Lin Zhentian was confident that he alone could deal with one Black Iron Demonic Leopard. Bringing Lin Fan was only to let him experience a life-and-death battle against a demonic beast! After all, if one wanted to go further on the martial path, life-and-death battles were unavoidable!

Lin Zhentian had high hopes for Lin Fan and planned to use this chance to temper him.

"Roar!"

Facing Lin Zhentian and Lin Fan's attack, the Black Iron Demonic Leopard also let out an enraged roar and launched a counterattack.

The Black Iron Demonic Leopard possessed a certain amount of intelligence and seemed to know that Lin Fan was weaker, so it charged swiftly toward him!

It raised its two front legs and pounced fiercely at Lin Fan. At the same time, it opened its bloody maw and bit toward Lin Fan's head!

Facing the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's attack, Lin Fan did not panic. His hands shifted rapidly, forming a fiery-red hand seal that smashed down fiercely at the Black Iron Demonic Leopard!

Bang! Bang!

The Blazing Fire Seal Lin Fan unleashed collided heavily with the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's front legs, producing two dull impacts.

That tremendous force of impact made Lin Fan's blood and qi churn. He retreated five or six steps in a row before stabilizing himself.

The Black Iron Demonic Leopard was not having an easy time either!

Although the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's realm was higher than Lin Fan's and its strength was several times greater, the flame attack attached to the Blazing Fire Seal made it suffer quite a bit. Its two legs were almost roasted!

"Roar!"

The Black Iron Demonic Leopard roared furiously and madly drove Yuan Power into its legs. With a desperate posture, it wanted to pounce at Lin Fan again.

By sheer accident, this instead extinguished the flames on its legs.

However, it was impossible for it to continue attacking Lin Fan! At the side, while the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's full attention was focused on Lin Fan, Lin Zhentian's body suddenly soared into the air!

Immediately after, Lin Zhentian condensed all his Yuan Power onto his pressed-together fingers and descended from the sky. His two fingers were like sharp swords as they stabbed viciously into the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's hard skull! This move was none other than the Lin Clan's Fourth Grade Martial Art, Pure Yuan Finger!

Although Lin Zhentian had also begun cultivating the Five Elements Seal, he was more skilled with the Pure Yuan Finger.

Moreover, he had discovered that each form of the Five Elements Seal corresponded to a different martial art grade.

Pure Yuan Finger and Blazing Fire Seal were on roughly the same level, only slightly inferior.

"Wuu!"

The Black Iron Demonic Leopard's head was pierced through, and it let out a mournful cry. Very soon, its life force vanished.

When the other Black Iron Demonic Leopard saw this, it immediately let out an enraged roar.

After the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's roar rang out, many savage beast howls actually came from the surrounding mountain forest! Clearly, they had all been drawn over by the Black Iron Demonic Leopard's roar!

"End it quickly!"

Sensing the rumbling sound of savage beasts running, Lin Zhentian's expression changed greatly, and he shouted sternly.

He had not expected that the Black Iron Demonic Leopard could actually summon savage beasts.

Although those savage beasts were certainly not as ferocious as the Black Iron Demonic Leopard, if there were too many of them, they would also be a huge problem!
