Black Dragon Stronghold Attacks!

"They're from Black Dragon Stronghold. Looks like their target isn't Grandfather and the others, but Ironwood Estate."

Lin Fan looked at the Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits outside the estate, his expression calm.

On the courtyard wall, when Lin Xia and the others heard Lin Fan's words, their faces turned somewhat pale.

Seeing this, Lin Fan chuckled. "Don't worry. Grandfather and the others aren't home, but Third Uncle and I are still here. Besides, Lin Dong has also broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm!"

"Those bastards from Black Dragon Stronghold are outrageously bold, daring to invade Ironwood Estate. This time, we'll make sure none of them leave alive!"

Lin Dong also said proudly, "Brother Lin Fan is right. All of you just need to be careful and deal with those Black Dragon Stronghold lackeys."

Hearing Lin Fan and Lin Dong's words, Lin Xia and the other Lin Clan juniors relaxed quite a bit.

That was right. Although among the elders, Lin Xiao was the only expert present, among the younger generation, there were still two monsters like Lin Fan and Lin Dong!

"Everyone, on guard!"

At this moment, Lin Xiao also arrived on the courtyard wall and let out a stern shout. His voice spread throughout Ironwood Estate and into everyone's ears.

Hearing Lin Xiao's steady voice, the Lin Clan guards and the miners in the estate, whose hearts had been somewhat panicked, calmed down considerably.

The guards who had stayed in the estate drew their weapons one after another and hurried up onto the courtyard wall, gazing solemnly at the yellow dust drawing closer and closer.

Soon, a black banner appeared in Lin Fan and the others' line of sight.

On that banner was embroidered a ferocious giant dragon, radiating a savage aura!

"It really is the people from Black Dragon Stronghold!"

Seeing that banner, Lin Xiao's brows furrowed slightly. He did not have too many worries in his heart, and he made a decisive decision on the spot.

"Fan'er, Dong'er, take everyone and defend against the Black Dragon Stronghold bandits together. As for the two leaders of Black Dragon Stronghold, leave them to me!"

"Yes, Third Uncle!"

Lin Fan and Lin Dong answered in unison.

Most of the Lin Clan guards had been taken away by Lin Zhentian. The number of guards left behind was quite a bit lower than the Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits.

Without their help, the guards in the estate likely would not be a match for the Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits.

As for Black Dragon Stronghold's two leaders, one was at the initial Heavenly Yuan Realm, and one was at the middle Heavenly Yuan Realm.

Lin Xiao was already at the Lesser Yuan Dan Realm. There was no suspense at all in him dealing with the two of them.

"Haha, Lin Xiao, it wasn't easy for us to meet. Yet the moment we do, you shut me out at the door. Isn't that a bit discourteous?"

The rumbling hoofbeats quickly stopped. Black Dragon Stronghold's chief leader Yan Kuo and second leader Wu Sha rode out on horseback and shouted toward Lin Xiao atop the courtyard wall.

Lin Xiao said coldly, "Yan Kuo, Wu Sha, you brought Black Dragon Stronghold's main force to attack my Lin Clan's estate. What face do you have to talk about courtesy?"

Yan Kuo smiled faintly and said, "The two of us heard that inside this Ironwood Estate, there seems to be a great treasure. If the Lin Clan is willing to split half with us, we'll withdraw immediately. How about it?"

"Wishful thinking! Yan Kuo, if you don't want your Black Dragon Stronghold to be wiped out here, I advise you to retreat at once!"

Hearing this, a cold glint immediately flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes.

"Men die for wealth, birds die for food. Since the Lin Clan won't split the treasure with us, we'll have no choice but to take it ourselves!"

Hearing this, Yan Kuo laughed loudly, then suddenly drew a large saber from his horse with a backhand motion. His foot tapped on the horse's back, and he shot out violently.

A blade glow viciously cleaved down onto Ironwood Estate's gate.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao was immediately enraged. He casually took a large saber from a guard's hand, his figure flashing out, and in midair, he met Yan Kuo head-on.

"Clang!"

The two sabers collided, producing a clear ringing sound. A terrifying gale erupted, making the scalps of the Lin Clan juniors on the courtyard wall tingle.

"Thud!"

The next moment, Yan Kuo's lean body actually fell from midair uncontrollably and crashed straight onto the ground.

"Pfft!"

Immediately after, Yan Kuo could not help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this scene, the people of Black Dragon Stronghold instantly could not help but suck in a breath of cold air!

Their chief leader, an expert at the middle Heavenly Yuan Realm, had actually been beaten until he spat blood by Lin Xiao in one move?

When had Lin Xiao become this strong?

The Lin Clan juniors and guards were also greatly shocked when they saw this.

Beyond the shock, their faces filled with delight.

Even Black Dragon Stronghold's chief leader was no match for one move from Lin Xiao, to say nothing of the others from Black Dragon Stronghold.

In that case, what else did they have to worry about?

Lin Xiao looked at Yan Kuo, who had fallen to the ground, and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. He leaped straight down from the courtyard wall, preparing to step forward and finish Yan Kuo off completely.

"Wu Sha, why aren't you helping? If I die, do you think Lin Xiao will let you go?"

Seeing this, Yan Kuo's expression changed drastically. He barked at Wu Sha off to the side, while enduring the pain in his internal organs, picking up his fallen long saber and quickly drawing closer to Wu Sha.

"Lads, everyone attack together! Kill Lin Xiao, and the treasures and women in the estate will be yours to enjoy as you please!"

Wu Sha's eyes turned, and he shouted loudly. He led the men of Black Wind Stronghold to surround and attack Lin Xiao.

Yan Kuo and Wu Sha mingled in the crowd, constantly making the Black Dragon Stronghold bandits fight to the death to stop Lin Xiao, while they kept some distance away, their gazes flickering uncertainly.

Watching the bandits being continuously slain by Lin Xiao, the thought of retreat could not help but rise in both their hearts.

"All of you, be careful and guard yourselves in case anyone from Black Dragon Stronghold charges in. Qing Tan, take Huo'er and protect them."

Lin Fan looked at the scene below the courtyard wall and spoke to Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and the others.

Hearing this, Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and the others all nodded.

Afterward, Lin Fan looked at Lin Dong again. "Let's go down and help Third Uncle, and wipe out these Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits in one fell swoop! Bring Little Flame down too. Have it cripple Black Dragon Stronghold's horses."

Lin Dong naturally could not have wished for anything more. He answered, then rode Little Flame and leaped straight down from the courtyard wall.

"Roar!"

Little Flame let out a low roar, directly frightening Black Dragon Stronghold's horses until their legs went weak. Some even collapsed straight onto the ground.

The Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits on horseback were thrown straight off.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong, meanwhile, charged into the midst of the Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits and began slaughtering in every direction like tigers among sheep.

"Big Brother, those two brats are the Lin Clan's number one genius, Lin Fan, and Lin Xiao's son, Lin Dong."

When Wu Sha saw Lin Fan and Lin Dong, he suddenly moved close to Yan Kuo and whispered.

"Excellent. One each for you and me. Capture them, and we won't have to fear Lin Xiao not obediently yielding!"

Yan Kuo's eyes lit up, and he cried out in great joy.

"Big Brother is wise!" Wu Sha said with a sinister grin, throwing out a bit of flattery.

"Move!"

Yan Kuo shouted lowly. His figure suddenly flashed, and he rapidly pounced toward Lin Dong.

Because in his view, Lin Dong was Lin Xiao's son. After capturing him, he would be able to hold Lin Xiao in his grip even more effectively.

Wu Sha, meanwhile, shot violently toward Lin Fan. His five fingers spread open, vigorous Yuan Power condensing in his palm. His large hand swept out as fast as lightning, grabbing viciously toward Lin Fan's neck!
