Chapter Fifty-Four: Destroying the Earth
In front of Lin Dong and the others, what was originally a region with many iron trees growing, was now empty for more than half. Black tree stumps protruded from the ground, and at the broken ends of these stumps, there were many disordered axe marks, apparently chopped off hastily and brutally.
What made Lin Dong and the others turn pale with rage was not the ironwood that had been chopped down, but rather the fact that there were many people in that area at this moment, busily pouring bucket after bucket of medicine water filled with a foul odor onto the land.
The Lei family not only wants to cut down all the iron trees that have grown, but also wants to destroy the soil quality of this land, so that the soil here can no longer grow iron trees!
This kind of thing that harms others and oneself is truly despicable!
"These bastards want to give our Lin family a deserted manor!" Qin Ying gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Dong's face was also somewhat gloomy, he too did not expect that the Lei family would use such a despicable trick. If the land of Tie Mu Village were to be truly damaged by their poisonous water, then this place would be completely ruined.
"What to do now?" a Lin family guard whispered, looking at the current situation, the Lei family obviously had not yet cut down all of the Ironwood trees, after all the Ironwood trees in the Ironwood Manor were extremely lush and also very hard, making them difficult to cut down, which was why they had spent over a month but still hadn't been able to clear out the entire manor.
"The ironwood is gone, but it can still grow back. However, if the soil quality here is destroyed, this Ironwood Manor will be no different from ordinary mountains." Qin Ying said in a deep voice.
"Uh-huh."
Lin Dong also nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the area. The vast majority of people there were laborers invited by the Lei family and didn't count as any trouble. So, after a quick scan, his eyes stopped on some figures at the outermost periphery - these were the Lei family's guards.
"The guards here at the Lei family have thirteen people, two of whom have reached the Earth Yuan stage. The leader is someone I know, named Dain, who used to be a bandit and later became the Lei family's guardian. His strength may be equivalent to mine, both of us are at the initial stage of the Earth Yuan boundary. Another person should also be at this stage." Qin Ying furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Here, only he and Lin Dong are at the Earth Yuan stage, and the latter is still experiencing this kind of situation for the first time. If they really fight, it's likely to be very difficult to contend with the opponent's Earth Yuan stage expert."
"Two local tycoons in the early stages." Lin's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Uncle Qin Ying, send out a signal to inform my dad and the others."
"As soon as we give the signal, they'll discover us. Shall we retreat first?" Qin Ying exclaimed. The other side had two native experts and over a dozen seasoned veterans, while they only had four people. If it came to retreating, he could still ensure Lin Dong's safety, but if they engaged in an open battle, he wouldn't be able to spare the attention.
"No time to retreat, the more medicine they splashed, the less iron wood would produce." Lin shook his head and said: "Wait for a while before taking action. Those two people wearing armor, leave them to me. You lead the others to block the rest of them."
At these words, Qin Ying's face changed color. Lin Dong actually wanted to use his own strength to block the two early-stage Yuan realm experts from the opposing side?
"Don't drag it out anymore, I won't go and look for death."
It seems that Lin Dong knew what Qin Ying and the others were thinking, but he didn't have time to explain. At this point, he had already reached the middle stage of the Earth Yuan realm, and after absorbing the large amount of dark energy from Qing Tan's body, the merged yuan force was even more powerful. Although in terms of experience, he might not be a match for his opponent, an old master, but for Lin Dong, who had already mastered two fourth-grade martial arts, this was not a problem.
Seeing Lin Dong persist, Qin Ying thought for a moment and then gritted her teeth. She took out a signal flare from her bosom, ignited it, and a red light burst into the sky, exploding in mid-air. The dazzling red glow was visible within a radius of several thousand meters.
"Who?!"
At the moment when the signal was sent out, the Lei family guards not far away also sensed something. The man with a gloomy face at the forefront suddenly turned around, his eyes fiercely staring at the place where Lin Dong and others were hiding. With a wave of his hand, the dozen or so figures scattered around slowly closed in.
"Roar!"
Just as they were closing in, a sudden tiger's roar rang out and a fiery red shadow burst forth.
"Fire Dragon Tiger!"
The guard of the Lei family, apparently also had some discerning eyes, and at a glance, he recognized the small flame that had slipped out. A startled cry immediately rang out, and some timid ones were so frightened that they wet their pants.
"Don't panic, this is just a juvenile Fire Python!" The man called Dain by Qin Ying was initially startled, but then he saw something and shouted loudly.
"Lao Liu, come with me and take down this beast! The rest of you go catch those people in the back for me! I want to see which son of a bitch dares to cause trouble in Tie Mu Village!"
Daien apparently had some authority among the guards, so under his shout, the others' shock also weakened somewhat. The other local martial artist also stood beside the man from before, with a gloomy expression.
"Get moving!"
The two of them exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously burst out, directly pouncing on Xiao Yan. However, just as the two of them rushed into Xiao Yan's surroundings, a figure suddenly burst out from behind, taking several strides to appear in front of the two of them. A powerful Yuan force, emitting an icy chill, fiercely struck at the two of them.
"Be careful!"
The sudden attack shocked both Dyne and his companion, and immediately their inner yuan force also burst out.
Bang!
Three figures collided heavily, and a strong aura burst out, sending all the gravel on the ground flying. After that, the figure that rushed out from Xiao Yan's back only trembled slightly before stabilizing his body. On the other hand, Dai En and the others retreated several steps in shock.
"Hiss!"
Qin Ying and the others, who were originally preparing to provide support from behind, couldn't help but take a light breath of cold air when they saw this scene. Their eyes stared at the back of that young man with a thick layer of surprise color. They didn't expect that Lin Dong would actually be able to fight against two people and still have the upper hand!
"He is indeed the most talented person in the Lin family."
Looking at the young man's back, even Qin Ying, a person who often licks blood on the knife, has some admiration in his heart. At this time, he also forgot about the age difference between the two of them. In any case, strength is respected here.
"Get moving!"
Seeing Lin Dong able to block Duan and the other, Qin Ying also let out a loud shout, charging out, rushing towards those ten or so Lei family guards who had surrounded them. With his Yuan realm strength, although outnumbered, he wasn't worried at all.
"Roar!"
At the same time, Xiao Yan also let out a loud roar and transformed into a crimson shadow that burst out of the encirclement, charging directly at the laborers who were continuously pouring medicine water from behind. Seeing this ferocious and terrifying giant creature, those laborers were also frightened and hastily dropped their medicine buckets, fleeing in a panic.
"It's someone from the Lin family!" Duan saw Qin Ying rush out, his face also changed slightly, and then there was a fierce light flashing in his eyes, staring tightly at Lin Dong in front of him.
"Lao Liu, let's join hands and kill this little brat!"
Dai En licked his lips, and a fierce killing intent burst out on his face. Upon hearing his words, the local expert from the same sect, also known as Old Six, nodded in agreement with a sinister expression. The two of them dispersed to the left and right in perfect tacit understanding, like ferocious wolves, step by step approaching Lin Dong.
Looking at the two people closing in on him, Lin Dong also took a deep breath. This would be his first life-or-death battle in history!
