As the strongest expert in Spreading Cloud City, although Lin Huarong’s injuries had not fully healed, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.
With a single claw strike, a piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. Judging from its momentum, even a Martial Grandmaster might find it difficult to withstand!
Furthermore, this was just an ordinary claw strike!
“You old fossil!” Faced with Lin Huarong’s angry claw attack, Lin Aoqing’s expression also became solemn. However, in the next instant, he made a move that surprised countless people. He fearlessly threw a punch to meet Lin Huarong’s claw head-on.
*Boom!* With a muffled sound echoing, both men retreated several steps, and a wave of Yuan Energy surged out from between them.
“He actually withstood Old Master Lin’s claw attack?!” Seeing this scene, Li Yuanfei’s eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment.
It seemed that Lin Aoqing had hidden his strength quite deeply!
After all, Lin Aoqing had access to all of the Li Family’s resources, and moreover, he was personally trained by Lin Huarong.
Qin Yichen’s eyes, however, were fixed on Lin Aoqing’s right hand.
On his right palm, he wore a knuckle duster gleaming with metallic lustre. Clearly, he had long been prepared for Lin Huarong, who was famous for his palm techniques.
“Hehe… you old thing, do you think after all these years, you can still easily defeat me?You’re old now, you can go and die!” Seeing the flash of astonishment in Lin Huarong’s eyes, Lin Aoqing could not help but sneer. In the next instant, he actually took the initiative to attack, pouncing towards Lin Huarong.
“Even if another hundred years pass, killing you would be as simple as squashing an ant!” Lin Huarong roared, meeting the attack. In an instant, the two were locked in combat.
This battle immediately attracted the majority of onlookers’ attention. From time to time, residual Yuan Energy shot out from their fight, creating trenches of varying depths in the hard ground. This caused no one to dare to approach.
The two fought madly, as if evenly matched.
However, those with slightly stronger cultivation could easily see that in their battle, Lin Huarong was still maintaining a slight upper hand.
After all, in terms of cultivation, Lin Huarong still held the advantage. If it were not for the fact that he could not even exert half of his strength now, Lin Aoqing would have long since become a corpse lying on the ground. How could he have lasted this long?
As the two fought fiercely, the small number of guards loyal to Lin Huarong and his old comrades also found themselves in a bitter struggle. Even with the help of four Martial Grandmaster Elders, they still could not withstand the pressure. From time to time someone would fall with a miserable cry.
Overall, Lin Aoqing’s forces still held the absolute advantage. If nothing unexpected happened, this chaotic battle should be able to conclude in a short time.
However, all of this was within Qin Yichen’s expectations. As a faint smile curved his lips, a large batch of hurried footsteps could be heard from the entrance of the Lin Family Mansion…
“Vile scoundrel! Everyone attack!”
“Kill the traitor Lin Aoqing!”
Accompanied by angry shouts, figure after figure quickly darted in from outside. At the forefront of these figures was a burly silhouette. He wielded a pair of giant hammers, and anyone who dared to block his way was swept aside by his overbearing posture.
This person was none other than Li Yuanba!
To get him to take action, Qin Yichen had to use the Overlord Hammer Martial Technique as bait. Otherwise, Li Yuanba would not have been so dedicated.
Among the group that followed Li Yuanba in, there were not only strong experts from the Li Family, but also quite a few from the Ye Family. Between the two Families, four Martial Grandmasters appeared.
With the addition of these fresh forces, the battle quickly reversed.
The forces aligned with Lin Aoqing, who had originally held the absolute upper hand, were now forced to gather in a corner, trapped within a limited area.
*Bang!* The change in the battle also caused Lin Aoqing to be slightly distracted. In the next instant, Lin Huarong’s claw tore a chunk of flesh from his back.
“Damn it!” Lin Aoqing staggered back a few steps. Looking at his subordinates who were retreating step by step, almost without any resistance left, a trace of panic appeared on his face.
Before this plan, he had factored in the variable of the Li Family. Although the Li Family was formidable, in Lin Aoqing’s eyes, the only one worth taking seriously was Li Yuanba.
He never imagined that the Ye Family would also get involved!
With the two Families joining forces, plus those loyal to Old Master Lin, who has a group of powerful allies, Lin Aoqing knew his defeat was going as swift as a landslide!
He was filled with hatred!
“Wicked bastard! you don’t deserve the Lin Family name. Today, I’ll flay you alive!” Seeing how effective the reinforcements from the Li Family and Ye Family were, Lin Huarong completely set aside all concerns. He glared at Lin Aoqing, walking towards him step by step.
At this moment, no one noticed that outside the Lin Family Mansion, on the street, an elegant beast-drawn carriage was slowly approaching.
The Demonic Beasts pulling the carriage were two Silver Wind Wolves, with sturdy builds and emitting an aura no weaker than that of ordinary Martial Grandmasters.
A figure who could own such Demonic Beasts to pull their carriage was certainly not someone who could be found in Spreading Cloud City!
Finally, this beast-drawn carriage steadily stopped at the entrance of the Lin Mansion.
The first to alight were two Martial Grandmasters. Their gaze turned towards the inside of the Lin Mansion, and they frowned. One of them said to Du Hua, who had just gotten off the carriage, “Master, it seems a bit chaotic inside…”
“Chaotic?” Du Hua was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile, “Interesting, let’s go in and take a look.”
At this time, the Lin Mansion was in complete chaos, and no one noticed these three people entering. However, Lin Aoqing did notice them.
“Young Master Du, save me!” A shrill voice came from Lin Aoqing’s mouth, “That thing, only I know where it is!”
Hearing this, Du Hua immediately frowned and said, “Bring him over!”
As he spoke, one of the men beside him moved, flashing in front of Lin Huarong, blocking a fatal blow for Lin Aoqing, and then carrying him back in front of Du Hua.
“Speak, where is that thing?” Du Hua didn’t care at all about Lin Aoqing’s life or death. He only cared about that one thing.
*Huff… huff…* Lin Aoqing still seemed a bit shaken, but hearing his unfriendly tone, he knew he no longer had the qualifications to negotiate with the person in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Young Master Du, I can give that thing to you for free, but please, help me kill someone.”
“Who?” Seeing him so sensible, Du Hua’s mood greatly improved.
“That… youth named Qin Yichen!”
Lin Aoqing’s finger pointed directly at Qin Yichen beside Li Lingyan.
After all, everything stemmed from that youth!
If it weren’t for him, how could Lin Aotian have gained the protection of the Li Family?
If it weren’t for him, how could Mo Yun have died?
If it weren’t for him, how could Ye Liangchen have helped that old thing?!
[As long as he dies, the alliance of these three Families will collapse on its own! Only then will I have a glimmer of hope for survival!]
