Slapping the Lei and Xie Families in the Face

Slap!

Just as Xie Yingying finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out. Xie Yingying was sent flying, leaving everyone present so shocked that their mouths hung open.

"Her skin really is thick. My hand hurts from hitting her," Lin Mu muttered.

The spectators' mouths twitched when they heard Lin Mu. He had slapped someone, yet he was complaining that her face was too thick and had hurt his hand.

"You actually dared to hit me!" Xie Yingying took a long while to recover. Five finger marks stood out on her delicate face, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Despicable people deserve to be hit," Lin Mu said.

"You dared to hit someone from the Xie Family? You're fucking courting death!" A yellow-clad youth beside Xie Yingying charged angrily at Lin Mu. Xie Yingying was a prized beauty in the Xie Family, admired by many, yet Lin Mu had struck her.

Slap!

The yellow-clad youth had barely rushed forward when Lin Mu sent him flying with a slap.

"A mere Xie Family isn't worth my notice," Lin Mu said disdainfully. Now that he was already at the late Heavenly Yuan Realm, no one from the Lei and Xie Families could match him.

"Courting death!"

Several members of the Xie Family charged furiously at Lin Mu.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Several crisp slaps rang out. The Xie Family members were immediately sent flying, each of their faces bearing five bright red finger marks.

"There are really a lot of people asking to be slapped today, lining up one after another for me to hit them," Lin Mu said.

"Now you can give me the Fox Crystal Necklace, right?"

"Sir, your Fox Crystal Necklace." Cold sweat beaded on the stall owner's forehead. He immediately handed the necklace to Lin Mu, no longer daring to harbor any thoughts.

"Qing Tan, I'll put it on for you." Lin Mu smiled at Qing Tan.

"Brother Lin Mu, let's leave quickly," Qing Tan said worriedly. Lin Mu had hit members of the Xie Family, and they certainly would not let the matter rest.

"It's fine. I'll beat however many come." Lin Mu smiled, took Qing Tan's jade-white hand, and put the Fox Crystal Necklace around her neck.

"Do you like it?"

"I do!" Qing Tan nodded happily.

At that moment, two groups pushed through the crowd. One was from the Lin Family, with Lin Dong among them. The other was from the Lei Family, led by the Lei Family's genius, Lei Li.

"Brother Lei Li!" When the Xie Family members saw Lei Li arrive, they cried out in delight.

"Yingying, who hit you?" Seeing the finger marks on Xie Yingying's face, Lei Li's expression darkened terribly. Xie Yingying was his fiancée. Striking her was no different from striking him in the face.

"Brother Lei Li, it was him!" Xie Yingying's younger sister, Xie Ting, pointed at Lin Mu. She had been frightened by Lin Mu's display earlier and had not dared step forward, but Lei Li's arrival gave her confidence.

"You hit Yingying?" Lei Li glared at Lin Mu furiously.

"That's right. Some people are so shameless that they bring their faces over for me to hit. If I didn't, wouldn't I be letting down her good intentions?" Lin Mu said.

"Pfft!"

Many members of the Lin Family could not help laughing when they heard Lin Mu.

"This guy really doesn't know how to treat a woman gently. Xie Yingying is such a delicate girl, yet he actually had the heart to hit her," Lin Xia muttered.

"What's so hard about it? If she brought her face in front of me, I'd hit her too," Lin Dong said as though it were only natural.

"You two brothers really are the same." Lin Xia rolled her eyes at Lin Dong.

"Good. Very good. Sometimes, reckless actions make your entire clan pay the price," Lei Li said through gritted teeth, his face full of rage.

"If you want our Lin Family to pay the price, that depends on whether your Lei and Xie Families have the ability," Lin Mu said with a smile, paying Lei Li's threat no heed.

"If not for the Savage Blade Martial Hall keeping things in check, the Lin Family would have long been driven out of Qingyang Town like stray dogs," Lei Li said with a sinister smile.

"It's still daytime, yet you're already dreaming. You know it's only an if. Why not say that if you were a Nirvana Realm expert, then all of Qingyang Town would belong to your family alone?" Lin Mu said disdainfully.

With the Lin Family's current strength, even without the Savage Blade Martial Hall, they had no reason to fear the Lei and Xie Families.

"You're quite good with words. I just wonder whether your fists are as formidable as your mouth," Lei Li said with a cold smile, clenching his fists several times until they cracked.

"Whether my fists are hard or not, why don't you come try them?" Lin Mu said.

"Fine!"

A faint glow surfaced around Lei Li's body. He kicked off the ground and threw a punch at Lin Mu's head. If Lei Li's blow landed, the outcome was obvious.

"Trivial tricks!" Lin Mu said disdainfully, casually throwing a punch to meet it.

Bang!

The two fists collided. A wave of air spread outward in a ring from their fists, forcing the surrounding crowd back two steps. Then Lei Li flew backward like a fired cannonball.

He crashed into several Lei Family disciples, and they all tumbled to the ground together.

"Earth Yuan Realm!"

Lei Li got to his feet, his blood and qi churning as he stared at Lin Mu in disbelief.

"It was rumored that the Lin Family had produced two geniuses. The elder brother, Lin Mu, had already reached the Earth Yuan Realm, while the younger brother, Lin Dong, was at the Body Tempering Ninth Level. I thought people were exaggerating, but it was actually true," someone in the crowd muttered.

Quite a few people had watched the Lin Family's Clan Competition that day, and word of Lin Mu and Lin Dong's strength had long spread. Some, however, had thought the rumors exaggerated.

"Looks like my fist is harder after all." Lin Mu smiled.

"Pfft!"

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Lei Li felt as though someone had viciously slapped him. He could not help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Lei Li!"

The Lei Family members all gathered around Lei Li, glaring furiously at Lin Mu.

"Want to fight? Our Lin Family isn't afraid!" Lin Dong and the others all stepped behind Lin Mu to support him. Though there were minor conflicts within the clan, they stood united against outsiders.

"Enough. You little ones have caused enough trouble. Go back where you came from. Business still needs to be done here."

Just as the two sides stood at sword point, a voice came from the pavilion above. A middle-aged man was looking down at them from on high.

"That is the manager of this Trading Fair. His name is Wang Jin, and he is an Earth Yuan Realm expert," Lin Xia whispered into Lin Mu's ear.

"I'll let you off today. Next time, I'll definitely settle today's score. Let's go!" Lei Li threw out a harsh threat. He knew that even if they fought, his side would only suffer, so it was better to retreat now.
