Chapter 49: Having Dealt with the Small Foes, the Big Ones Arrive

  Lin Yuan did it on purpose this time, so he also deliberately showed his own powerful strength.

  The Cloud-Stepping Method is a unique skill of the Lin Family Village. Lin Yuan had also heard about it before. It was said that this method was created by one of the village masters many years ago. At that time, the master was on top of a mountain peak, basking in the warm sunlight of spring and was about to take a rest. However, when he lay down, he discovered that the clouds in the sky were pure white, while the ground seemed to have a layer of cloud-like mist as well. Under the reflection of the sunlight, it also shot up into the sky.

  The misty light and cloud colors are mutually reflected, and they change infinitely. There is no wind in the sky, but the clouds in the sky seem to be advancing, retreating, dispersing, and gathering. The advance and retreat cannot be seen at all, but while looking, this cloud has already unknowingly moved far away.

  The landlord was also amazed and admired at that time, as if he had gained insight, then buried his head in contemplation. A year later, combining the epiphany of that day, he created a set of footwork, which he named "Treading Clouds Step" to commemorate his own enlightenment on the clouds.

  Ever since the master of the Lin family grasped the Cloud Treading Step, from then on, the Lin Family Manor also had an additional profound and subtle footwork technique.

  This master of the manor, with this set of footwork, combined with the Lin family's swordsmanship, has rarely been defeated. It can be said that his reputation is mighty and impressive. Even enemies whose abilities far surpass his own are unable to harm him.

  But after him, no one in Lin's family ever mastered the Treading Cloud Steps. They couldn't even come close to what that former master could do.

  As a result, over time, this set of footwork gradually became less important, until it became the most basic lightness skill in Lin Family Village.

  At first, Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to the Cloud Treading Step, but as his cultivation increased, he gradually discovered its power and spent more time learning it, eventually reaching the same level as the former Villa Master.

  Treading on the clouds, stepping on the sky, advancing and retreating, going and returning!

  One step out, Lin Yuan's entire body was like a fish entering the ocean, and all the warriors couldn't touch Lin Yuan at all.

  Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this young man has gotten himself into trouble this time.

  This young man is a member of the Zhao family in Fenglin County, and he is the second son of the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Shi. He has come here to participate in the Wu Zong test as well.

  What a pity, if he were to participate in the test with his current strength, the probability would be zero, so during this period of time, he often brought his subordinates to this inn to cause trouble.

  This young man with the surname Zhao specifically targets some foreign warriors, after all, some of these foreign warriors are not very powerful themselves and do not have any background.

  This is also the reason why people nearby don't want to mess with him, not because he has such strong power, but his father. His father is a martial artist who has reached the peak of the Eight Heavens Realm.

  Although the Zhao family is not considered anything in Fenglin County, a martial artist who has reached the eighth realm of the post-heavenly stage is still rarely seen, and can be considered a master. As a result, it also fostered the arrogance and recklessness of this young Zhao Zhiqing.

  He never thought that he would meet a young man like this today, and his strength was so powerful.

  How did he manage to do it?

  Zhao Shi's subordinates launched a crazy attack, but couldn't even touch the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes. The more they fought, the angrier they became!

  With so many warriors, they can't even defeat a young boy? If outsiders were to see this, how humiliating would it be.

  Zhao's anger in his heart was also increasingly provoked. Every day, he would find some foreign warriors here and stop them from participating in the Wu Zong test. There had been no unexpected events at all, and once, he even crippled someone who came to take the test. He didn't expect that this time, such a situation would arise. Didn't this obviously lose face for him?

  Zhao Zhi was about to draw his sword, but before he could even grab the hilt, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Lin Yuan had arrived right before his eyes. Zhao Zhi was shocked and didn't have time to dodge before hearing a loud "thud" as he took a punch straight to the nose! Instantly, blood gushed out from his nose, and the intense pain triggered his tear ducts, causing tears to flow out as well.

  This Zhao Zhi was only at the fifth realm of acquired stage, how could he be Lin Yuan's opponent? He was caught off guard and didn't even have time to react.

  "You think you can stop me? Trash." Lin Yuan said indifferently, but his hands were ruthless. His body flashed back and forth like a fish, and with two loud slaps, Zhao Shi's left and right eye sockets were heavily slapped at the same time.

  Suddenly a big panda was born fresh and hot.

  Lin Yuan also guessed that he was absolutely not the first victim, and if it weren't for his own strength, he would have been hurt long ago. Lin Yuan hated this kind of person the most in his heart, and he wouldn't show any mercy to such a person at all.

  Zhao Zhi was almost about to faint, as so many people were ganging up on a youth who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old and had actually been beaten.

  A loud roar, a clang, the long sword out of its scabbard, the wind howling in response, one move, and it's a killing blow!

  Although Zhao Zhi's strength was not high, his mind was so vicious that Lin Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had intended to leave at this point, but unexpectedly the young man was so unappreciative.

  Everyone on the stage knew what was going to happen next. Originally, if this young man had given up at this point, Lin Yuan would not have said anything else. But this young man was so uncooperative, and it couldn't be blamed on Lin Yuan.

  The people below secretly cried out, "Not good!", they didn't understand Lin Yuan's cultivation either, but judging from the current situation, Lin Yuan's footwork was exquisite, while Zhao Zhi's mind was in complete disarray, already filled with anger, and had absolutely no chance of being his opponent. This sword move had put himself in an extremely dangerous position!

  If he didn't draw his sword, Lin Yuan wouldn't have drawn his either. In that case, even if they exchanged a few blows, nothing serious would come of it.

  But as soon as Zhao Shi drew his sword, the other side could also draw their sword! At that time, it wouldn't be just a matter of taking punches and kicks... Moreover, Lin Yuan felt a killing aura on this young man's body.

  Silver light flashed, sword shadows fluttered and fell, Zhao Zhi's face was black, his whole face full of murderous intent, he rushed up frantically.

  A glimmer of icy killing intent flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

  Lin Yuan's expression turned pale, this person had actually harbored murderous intentions towards him, he couldn't be spared!

  "Looking for death!"

  Lin Yuan still had empty hands, constantly wandering and dodging in the sword shadows. The helpers around Zhao Shi were also coordinating with Zhao Shi, but even so, they couldn't touch Lin Yuan at all.

  Zhao Zhi's sword was like falling petals, yet it didn't even touch a single thread of his clothes.

  But on his body, a cold and fierce killing intent was getting thicker...

  Zhao Shi let out a loud cry, suddenly leaping up, his sword flashing, falling from mid-air. One slash. His entire body's true energy surged, clearly enraged to the extreme, bursting forth with all his might.

  But for Lin Garden, it's not enough to see. Moreover, Lin Yuan doesn't want to show off his strength too much, only showing his strength up to the sixth realm of postnatal, but that's still not something Zhao Shi can compare to.

  Lin Yuan hummed and suddenly retreated instead of advancing, his body leaped forward and rushed out.

  Zhao Zhi made a move, but saw that the opponent's figure had already disappeared in front of him. Just as he was secretly thinking something was off, a faint sound suddenly came from behind him.

  What's that noise?

  Behind his back, a sword light formed by true yuan flashed, and all around was a burst of exclamations!

  Lin Yuan had never drawn his sword, but at this critical moment, he used his fingers as a sword!

  Zhao Zhi was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his back, followed by an intense ache in his knee.

  Zhao Shi let out a loud cry and fell from mid-air.

  One move leads to defeat.

  "How dare you hurt my son!" Just as Lin Yuan was about to take further action, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the door.

  Lin Yuexin smiled bitterly in her heart, she just didn't want to be so troublesome, but unexpectedly, after dealing with the small one, a bigger one came.
