Bloodbath, Shattered Yuan Profound Steel!

When they heard that voice, everyone from the Lin Clan inside Ironwood Estate could not help being startled again.

"Stay on guard!" Lin Xiao's brows also furrowed slightly as he shouted sternly at the crowd.

As this group drew closer, Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, and the others soon recognized them. They were people from Mad Blade Martial Hall.

The one leading them was none other than Luo Cheng, the master of Mad Blade Martial Hall.

"Brother Lin Xiao, I received word that the two chiefs of Black Dragon Stronghold took advantage of the Lin Clan head's absence to lead a large force of bandits in an attack on Ironwood Estate, so I immediately brought people over to support you. How is your estate now?"

Seeing Lin Xiao at the manor gates, Luo Cheng waved for everyone to stop, then asked Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao let out a breath of relief and smiled. "Many thanks, Hall Master Luo. Ironwood Estate is unharmed. The enemies from Black Dragon Stronghold who came to attack have already been wiped out by us."

"Oh? Could my information have been wrong? Did only one chief from Black Dragon Stronghold come?" Luo Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Those two chiefs did indeed both come," Lin Xiao said with a slight shake of his head.

Hearing this, then looking at the corpses of Black Dragon Stronghold's men scattered all around, Luo Cheng said in surprise, "Lin Xiao, you killed the two chiefs of Black Dragon Stronghold all by yourself, along with this many bandits? Impressive!"

"In truth, that Wu Sha was not killed by me, but died at Lin Fan's hands," Lin Xiao said, shaking his head again.

"What? Wu Sha was a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert, yet Lin Fan actually killed him?"

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately sucked in a cold breath. His gaze turned toward Lin Fan nearby, utterly shaken.

The hand Luo Cheng had wrapped around the reins could not help trembling. After a long silence, he finally said slowly, "The Lin Clan is blessed!"

At this moment, Luo Cheng actually felt rather fortunate. Fortunately, Mad Blade Martial Hall had always been close to the Lin Clan.

Otherwise, right now, they would probably be like the Lei and Xie Families, unable to eat or sleep in peace!

Behind Luo Cheng, Wu Yun could not help widening his eyes as well. He leaned in beside Lin Fan and muttered,

"Brother Lin, you're way too awesome! I'm still bitterly struggling in the Earthly Yuan Realm, and you can already kill someone in the Heavenly Yuan Realm!"

"Heh, it was just luck," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, borrowing one of "Brother Luck's" famous lines as well.

"You bastard," Wu Yun said, unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Xiao said to Luo Cheng, "Hall Master Luo, let us go inside the estate to talk."

Luo Cheng glanced at the corpses at Ironwood Estate's main gate and shook his head. "Let's leave it for another day."

With that, Luo Cheng directly ordered the people of Mad Blade Martial Hall to return.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not insist on keeping them.

After the people from Mad Blade Martial Hall left, Lin Xiao immediately ordered everyone in Ironwood Estate to clean up the aftermath together.

Only after nearly half a day passed was everything finally cleaned up.

But at the entrance of Ironwood Estate, a faint smell of blood still lingered, unable to disperse so quickly.

At dusk, a convoy once again appeared outside Ironwood Estate.

When the guards on the courtyard walls saw that familiar convoy, they immediately opened the gates in delight.

At first, Lin Zhentian and the others had still been rejoicing that the process of transporting the Yang Yuan Stones had gone extremely smoothly this time. But when they reached the gate, they smelled a bloody stench, and their expressions all changed.

"Something happened!"

Lin Zhentian's old face abruptly turned gloomy.

"Father, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you're back. Did this trip go smoothly?"

At this moment, Lin Xiao came forward with Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and the others.

"Our side went quite smoothly," Lin Zhentian said, instantly letting out a breath of relief when he saw that Lin Xiao and the others were safe and sound. "But why is there a smell of blood at the estate gates?"

When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately recounted the matter of Black Dragon Stronghold attacking Ironwood Estate to Lin Zhentian and the other two.

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lin Zhentian's mood improved somewhat. "This time, Fan'er and Dong'er both performed well!"

"However, the remaining people of Black Dragon Stronghold must also be exterminated to deter those petty villains. Otherwise, others will think my Lin Clan is easy to bully!"

Lin Xiao said, "Now that the two chiefs of Black Dragon Stronghold are dead, and more than half of the bandits have also died, they are no longer much of a threat. Black Dragon Stronghold can be cleared out at any time."

Lin Zhentian nodded slightly. "Let's go in first. It is already late today. Tomorrow, this old man will personally lead people and wipe out Black Dragon Stronghold!"

The others naturally had no objections to this.

The next day, before the sky had even brightened, many men and horses had already gathered inside Ironwood Estate.

All of these people were dressed in black, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in strips of cloth.

Everyone remained silent, faintly giving off a cold, murderous air!

"Move out! Bloodbath Black Dragon Stronghold!"

Lin Zhentian gave a stern shout and led Lin Mang and the group of guards surging out of the estate like a black torrent, charging toward Black Dragon Stronghold!

Lin Zhentian and his group moved extremely quickly. Before noon, they had already returned.

Not only had they washed Black Dragon Stronghold in blood, they had also brought back the collection Black Dragon Stronghold had accumulated over many years.

"Fan'er, Dong'er, come here," Lin Zhentian said, having everyone arrange for these items to be stored away before calling Lin Fan and Lin Dong over.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, then walked over to Lin Zhentian's side.

Lin Zhentian took out a piece of black metal half the size of a head and handed it toward Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

"This is a piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel. It has an extremely good effect when it comes to breaking through Yuan Power. What is even more unique is that it has a fine carrying and guiding effect on Mental Power."

When Lin Dong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Lin Fan's brows also lifted slightly. He had some impression of this piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel as well.

In the original work, Lin Dong had discovered it himself, but now Lin Zhentian had taken the initiative to pick it out and give it to them.

It seemed this was because Lin Zhentian knew they had cultivated Mental Power.

Lin Dong hesitated for a long while, then said, "Brother Lin Fan made the greatest contribution this time. This piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel should go to him."

Lin Fan chuckled softly. "Such a large piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel is enough for the two of us. I'll keep it for now. After the weapons are forged, I'll give you half."

As he spoke, Lin Fan directly reached out and took the Shattered Yuan Profound Steel.

Seeing Lin Fan and Lin Dong so united and brotherly, Lin Zhentian was also extremely gratified. "All right, there is nothing else. You two can decide how to arrange it yourselves."

Lin Fan and Lin Dong nodded, then immediately left with the Shattered Yuan Profound Steel.

"Brother Lin Fan, what kind of weapon are you planning to forge the Shattered Yuan Profound Steel into?"

After parting from Lin Zhentian, Lin Dong asked Lin Fan curiously.

"Needles," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, spitting out a single word.

"Needles?" Lin Dong scratched his head, somewhat confused.

A sinister smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. "With such a large piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel, if it's forged into needles, there will definitely be several hundred of them."

"When the time comes, we'll use Mental Power to control several hundred Shattered Yuan Needles and shoot them at the enemy at the same time. Just imagine that effect. Heh-heh!"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Dong imagined several hundred Shattered Yuan Needles shooting toward him at the same time, and immediately shivered!

But if they were used against an enemy?

Lin Dong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly grew somewhat excited. "Brother Lin Fan, you really have ideas! If we use them against an enemy at night, they'll be even harder to guard against!"

"Exactly. That's precisely it," Lin Fan said, patting Lin Dong on the shoulder with an expression as if his path was no longer lonely.

At this moment, that familiar voice once again rang out in Lin Fan's mind.
