Chapter Thirty-Four: Lei's Power
Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they stared at Xie Ting, whose face had turned bright red from Lin Dong's slap. The originally noisy place suddenly became quiet.
The silence lasted for a moment, and some people also came back to their senses, looking at Lin Dong with strange eyes, apparently somewhat surprised by the latter's decisiveness. This Xie Ting, no matter how you say it, is considered a delicate beauty, but this identity seems not to have made Lin Dong hesitate in his actions.
"Cruel enough, decisive enough." Some people secretly evaluated Lin Dong in their hearts. This rising genius of the Lin family seemed to have a different approach as well.
Lin Xia and others were also stunned by Lin Dong's actions, staring at Xie Ting who was covering her face with a dull expression, seemingly still in a daze. For some reason, a surge of pleasure rose up in their hearts. This stinky woman had always looked down on the Lin family, but this time, Lin Dong's slap really hit the spot and was deeply satisfying.
A palm print landed on Xie Ting's cheek, and Lin Dong's palm suddenly shot out, grasping the powerful gust of wind that burst forth, which was also a piece of broken stone. However, the force on the broken stone did not make Lin Dong's arm tremble in the slightest.
"You hit me... You dare to hit me!!"
When Lin Dong caught the incoming gravel with a backhand, Xie Ting finally came to her senses. The scorching pain on her cheek made her body tremble all over. She raised her head, and her eyes were somewhat ferocious as she stared at Lin Dong, that appearance, which didn't have even half of the previous haughtiness.
"Loose lips will cost you something in the end." Lin Dong glanced at her and said lightly.
"What are you, dare to hit me?" Lin Dong's calm words made Xie Ting almost go crazy. From childhood to adulthood, who dared to hit her?
Her pretty face was slightly distorted at this moment, and in the next instant, she also raised her five fingers and slapped Lin Dong's face heavily.
"Bang!"
Lin Dong stretched out his palm and easily grasped Xie Ting's palm, just about to flip her over, when a slightly cold shout came from not far away.
"I'm saying, shouldn't you have had enough already?"
The power contained in his palm gradually converged, and Lin Dong slightly tilted his head. Not far away from there, a girl wearing a fox fur coat was walking towards him with light steps. The girl looked quite noble, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Xie Ting's. However, she didn't have Xie Ting's overt cruelty and arrogance. For some reason, this seemingly approachable girl made Lin Dong frown slightly.
"Sister!"
As soon as she saw the girl who appeared, Xie Ting's eyes turned red and she cried out.
"Thank you, Xie Yingying." As soon as the girl appeared, Lin Dong had already guessed her identity, that being the young lady who was said to be the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Xie family, Xie Yingying.
"Your name is Lin Dong, right? Your previous actions were not good. Sometimes, being reckless may make your family pay the price." Xie Yingying's eyes, like autumn water, stared at Lin Dong, with a hint of coldness in her flat voice.
"Just now when they were bullying me, the Lin family, where were you?" Lin Dong released Xie Ting and looked at Xie Yingying in front of him with a cold smile.
Xie Yingying's eyebrows furrowed, just about to speak, but Lin Dong continued: "Don't spout any grandiose nonsense, it all boils down to who has the bigger fist. Your Xie family has never gotten along with my Lin family, if you really had the ability, you would have driven us out of Qingyang Town long ago. The reason you haven't is that you can't, or perhaps you know that even if you did succeed, it would come at a terrible cost!"
"She hit someone from my Lin family, I hit her back, it's only fair. If you want to pick a fight, then let's do it, but saying those words just makes you look ridiculous."
Lin's words, though sharp, were indeed true. Many people around him nodded slightly as they listened. The Lin family had developed extremely quickly over the years. Although they hadn't clashed with the Lei and Xie families before, anyone who knew some inside information understood that the Lin family's strength wasn't inferior to either of the two families in any way.
While the two families joined forces, they were indeed stronger than the Lin family. However, the Kuangdao Wuguan, also a dominant force in Qingyang Town, would not allow such a thing to happen. After all, once the Lei and Xie families had dealt with the Lin family, their next target might be them.
So, all along, the four major forces have been maintaining this delicate balance, and as for who will destroy whom, it seems a bit childish.
Xie Yingying's words were also directly blocked by Lin Dong's sharp words, and her face was slightly unsightly at the moment.
"Right, well said, whoever has the bigger fist is right."
When Xie Yingying was speechless, a sudden burst of laughter echoed, and immediately a figure jumped down from the second floor. The straightened body made the younger generation present feel a kind of pressure.
"Come on!"
Looking at the man in a strong suit, Lin Xia and others' faces changed instantly, and they hurriedly swarmed behind Lin Dong, with some worry in their eyes.
"Brother Lei is mighty!" The people from the Xie family were overjoyed when they saw this person, and Xie Ting was so delighted that she exclaimed.
"Lei Li, isn't he that Xie Yingying's fiancé, known as the number one among the younger generation in Qingyang Town?"
Lin Dong's eyebrows also furrowed at this moment, staring intently at the figure. The newcomer appeared to be around 17 or 18 years old, with a straight and handsome build, and an air of confidence on his face that was unmatched by his peers.
"Let me, Yingying." Lei Li's eyes were gentle as he looked at Xie Yingying and smiled.
"En." Seeing Lei Li, Xie Yingying also smiled slightly, and when she looked at Lin Dong again, the corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a shallow arc.
"Lin Dong, is it? Hehe, I agree with what you said earlier, but first, you need to understand that if it weren't for the balance of power in the town, the Lin family would have been driven out of Qingyang Town like a stray dog." Lei Li smiled as he looked at Lin Dong.
"If it weren't for Lai Xie bringing the two families together, you wouldn't be saying this... You also know, that's if..." Lin Dong said with a faint smile.
"Alright, you're quite eloquent..."
Lei Li's eyes narrowed slightly, he shrugged his shoulders, then clenched his fists lightly, and a cracking sound came from between his bones. He smiled at Lin Dong, saying: "You just said one more sentence that I agree with. After all, it still depends on whose fist is harder. Now... maybe my fist is harder than yours. Earlier, you slapped Ting Er, I think I'll take it back."
When Lin Xia and the others heard this, their faces changed instantly. Lei Li was said to have already entered the ninth level of Quan Ti, and even if Lin Dong had shown the strength of the eighth level of Quan Ti before, he would still be no match for Lei Li.
Bang!
Lei Li obviously didn't intend to give Lin Dong any time to refuse, so as soon as his voice fell, his foot stepped on the ground and he appeared directly in front of Lin Dong. On top of his fist, a thick light was rapidly surging, and the sharp gust of wind made Lin Xia's face pale.
"Back off!"
Seeing the lightning-like speed of Lei's attack, Lin Dong's eyes also condensed, and his back heavily collided with Lin Xia and others, sending them all retreating. Then, a clear and crisp sound, almost continuous, rang out on the square.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Can you withstand the Nine Resounding Punches?" The somewhat familiar voice was heard, and many people in the scene were taken aback, looking at Lin Dong with some astonishment. It was clear that they did not expect him to be able to cultivate the Tong Bei Fist to its peak at such a young age. However, relying solely on this would make it difficult to withstand Lei's power.
"Bang!"
It was as if he knew what others were thinking, and when the ninth bell rang, Lin Dong's body transmitted a very fine and powerful sound again, which was not audible to outsiders.
Bang!
Two fists, each containing a fierce gust of wind, finally collided abruptly under the tense gaze of the crowd, and an invisible wave of air spread out.
Every day I wake up and see that I've been bombed. Alright, I'll continue to ask for votes, I'm working hard, never slacking off.
