“Qin Yichen?” Du Hua softly muttered this unfamiliar name, his gaze following the direction of Lin Aoqing’s finger.
It was a youth with an ordinary appearance and attire, showing no signs of being different from others. Immediately, a faint smile curved Du Hua’s lips as he indifferently said, “Sure.”
If he had to eliminate all those opposing Lin Aoqing here, it might be a bit challenging for him. But killing such an ordinary youth, he felt, would require no effort at all.
At this moment, everyone else came to their senses. Numerous gazes, filled with suspicion and shock, turned towards these three people who had abruptly appeared.
No one dared to underestimate them. The person who had just intervened had managed to block Lin Huarong’s attack head-on, which showed that he was undoubtedly a Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster.
Lin Huarong was about to get angry, but his peripheral vision caught sight of the beast-drawn carriage parked at the entrance. His eyes immediately trembled.
From the decorations on that carriage, he could tell that the newcomers were no ordinary people!
“I am Lin Huarong of Spreading Cloud City. Young Master, this is our Lin Family’s internal affair. I hope you won’t intervene.” Lin Huarong stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Du Hua as he spoke.
At this moment, his physical condition was far from good. The earlier strike from the man, who saved Lin Aoqing, had caused his not fully recovered body to experience the man’s strength and depth. It made him realise that that person’s cultivation was not much weaker than his own.
What was more terrifying was that a strong expert of this level was just an attendant of this young man before him.
If they provoked this person, the consequences would be unfathomable!
“I have no interest in your family affairs. I believe you all heard, that Qin whatever Chen, will you die by your own hand, or do you want this Young Master to send you on your way?” Du Hua waved his hand dismissively at Lin Huarong’s words, then looked directly at Qin Yichen, who was beside Li Yuanfei.
His casual words were like a sword of judgement, directly sentencing Qin Yichen to death. This arrogance was no less than Ye Liangchen’s motto of ‘Heaven first, me second’.
In fact, it might even surpass it.
Hearing this, Lin Huarong’s brows furrowed deeply. He understood clearly why Lin Aoqing wanted Qin Yichen dead!
If Qin Yichen died, there would be no possibility of the Li Family and Ye Family helping him.
Lin Huarong could not help but look at Li Yuanfei and Ye Liangchen, not knowing how these two would choose.
To be honest, Li Yuanfei was engaged in an intense internal struggle at this moment.
However, while he was hesitating, Ye Liangchen directly stood in front of Qin Yichen.
Li Yuanba, carrying his two large hammers, also walked over. He put down the hammers, causing the entire ground to tremble, his intention very clear.
“Hehe…” Li Yuanfei smiled bitterly. He had indeed been too cautious, overlooking the fact that this youth could not be judged by common sense. He too stood in front of Qin Yichen.
Without a doubt, all three Families expressed their determination to protect Qin Yichen at all cost!
This caused Lin Aoqing, standing behind Du Hua, to feel a sharp pain in his heart, his gaze towards Qin Yichen becoming even more venomous.
“Who is he? How can he be so arrogant?”
“I don’t know, but we’d better keep our voices down. Didn’t you see even Old Master Lin backing down?”
“Where did Lin Aoqing meet such a figure?”
Whispers of speculation began to rise from various corners of the courtyard, but they quickly subsided. The entire Lin Mansion fell so quiet, everyone would be able to hear a pin drop.
Faced with these three sudden arrivals, everyone’s eyes were filled with wariness and awe.
Under Du Hua’s arrogant and domineering aura, the entire scene fell silent, with only the sound of people’s heavy breathing.
“Die?” In this silence, Qin Yichen stepped out from behind Li Yuanfei and the others. He looked at Du Hua neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness, rang out, “Sorry, I’m still young and don’t want to die.”
Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, a flash of surprise crossed Du Hua’s eyes. Clearly, he was astonished that someone could face him so fearlessly. However, this surprise quickly turned into mockery.
In Du Hua’s eyes, this youth was too ignorant! Did he really believe that under the protection of those few people, he could avoid death!?
“Interesting, but you have no choice. Since you’re unwilling to end your own life, let me send you on your way!” Du Hua lightly chuckled. Hearing his words, one of the guards behind him stepped forward. An almost tangible pressure, like a huge wave, rushed towards Qin Yichen.
*Thump!* Under this pressure, Qin Yichen could not help but tremble. In that instant, he felt as if he was trapped in a quagmire, unable to move. Beads of cold sweat involuntarily slid down his cheeks.
He was merely a Martial Artist, who had just condensed his Martial Body Bead. The gap between his cultivation and that of the guard was too vast. This was the suppression caused by their power difference. Just the pressure of the guard’s aura alone left him with no strength to resist.
*Hmph!* Lin Huarong frowned, just about to make a move when a cold snort suddenly rang out. A burly figure stepped forward, releasing an aura no weaker than that guard’s, completely dissipating the pressure brought by the Martial Grandmaster.
*Huuuuu…* After the pressure disappeared, Qin Yichen let out an exhale.
The one who intervened was Li Yuanba!
Although Li Yuanba’s current cultivation might be weaker than Du Hua’s two guards, he possessed extraordinary strength. With the Overlord Hammer Martial Technique, he should not face much problem dealing with one of them.
So, Qin Yichen was not worried at all.
“No matter who you are, Qin Yichen is my benefactor. If you want to harm him, you’ll have to step over my corpse first!” Lin Huarong stepped forward, ready to risk everything.
This scene was something no one had anticipated!
The three giants of Spreading Cloud City were all standing behind a youth who was only in his teens.
This shocked many, making them wonder why they would do this.
“What? You dare to resist?” Seeing Li Yuanba interfere with his guard’s actions, a flash of anger crossed Du Hua’s eyes. He sneered at Lin Huarong, Li Yuanba, and the others, mocking in a deep voice.
The alliance of Spreading Cloud City’s three Major Families might seem invincible in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Du Hua’s eyes, it was like a joke.
Because these three Families did not even qualify to enter the Royal City, while he, Du Hua, was from one of the four Major Families of the Royal City.
The two sides were simply not on the same level!
