"Oh? What are your thoughts, Yi'er?" Lin Zhentian no longer treats Lin Yi like a child and takes his opinions very seriously.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Since Grandpa thinks that Black Dragon Stronghold might attack us, why not strike first and wipe out Black Dragon Stronghold, and then peacefully sell Yang Yuan Stones?"
Lin Zhentian pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "In that case, Lei Bao might contact other bandits again, turning the situation into one where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light."
"Now that we know our enemy and ourselves, we have three Heavenly Origin Realm experts on our side. We can just wait for the Black Dragon Stronghold to walk right into our trap. As for the Lei family, I'll deal with them after I break through to the Yuan Dan Realm!"
With the special Yang energy deep within the mine, Lin Zhentian is now full of confidence.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "I understand."
As for the fact that Black Dragon Stronghold would attack Ironwood Village instead of the caravan, Lin Yi thought about it but decided not to say it.
Lin Yi was unsure whether Black Dragon Stronghold's action plan would be the same as in the original story.
Moreover, with him and Lincoln staying behind at Tiemu Village, if Black Dragon Village dared to come, they would only be courting death!
After the plan was finalized, Lin Zhentian, along with Lin Xiao and Lin Mang, led a large group of people, escorting several boxes of Yang Yuan Stones and some ironwood to cover their tracks, and headed towards Yan City in a grand procession.
Before the group set off, Lin Yi approached Lin Xiao alone and gave him a batch of Yang Yuan Pills, asking him to help purchase spiritual medicine to restore his spiritual power.
After watching the convoy depart, Lincoln sternly ordered the remaining men, "Everyone keep your eyes peeled! If there's any sign of trouble, give the signal immediately. No suspicious person is to be allowed into the manor!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lincoln's shout, numerous echoes of response resounded from the towering courtyard walls.
Lin Yi and Lincoln didn't stay on the courtyard wall all the time, but they would occasionally climb up the wall to take a look around.
Rumble!
Suddenly, Lin Yi's powerful spiritual energy sensed the sound of galloping hooves coming from outside Ironwood Manor.
With a few flashes, Lin Yi leaped onto the courtyard wall and looked into the distance. He saw a group of people rushing towards them at the end of the main road outside Tiemu Village, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Attention everyone! Black Dragon Stronghold is attacking! Prepare for battle!"
Lin Yi took a deep breath, and his clear voice rang out within the Ironwood Manor.
Lincoln quickly climbed the wall, and when he looked at the yellow dust filling the sky, a solemn expression appeared in his eyes.
Chapter 32: First Kill, Shocking the Entire Audience!
Following Lincoln, Qingtan, Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and others also received the news and rushed over. When they saw the dusty scene, their expressions changed drastically.
"Damn Black Dragon Stronghold, we've fallen into their trap! Their target isn't the Yang Yuan Stones that Father and the others were transporting, but... Ironwood Manor!"
Lincoln's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his face was extremely grim.
Lin Yi calmly said, "Uncle, there's no need to worry. Black Dragon Stronghold only has two experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm. You and I can each deal with one. As for those lackeys, they're not worth mentioning."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, everyone felt much more at ease.
As they were speaking, a black flag clearly appeared in Lin Yi and the others' line of sight.
On that flag, a black dragon coiled and twisted, exuding a ferocious aura; it was the symbol of Black Dragon Village.
"Haha, Lincoln, we finally get to meet, you're not going to turn us away as soon as we meet, are you?"
The thunderous sound of hooves, accompanied by yellow dust, gradually subsided outside Tiemu Village, and a loud laugh rang out from within.
Then, two black horses slowly stepped out, and two people sat on their backs.
The man on the left was burly, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and a simple, honest smile on his face.
But only those who know him well know how ruthless and vicious he is; the title of "Tearing Wind Hand Wu Sha" is not given lightly.
The other person, relatively thin, with crisscrossing knife scars on his face, was Yan Kuo, the leader of Black Dragon Stronghold.
"Yan Kuo, Wu Sha, your Black Dragon Stronghold and my Lin family have always kept to themselves. Isn't what you've done today a bit too much?"
Lincoln waved his hand, and the bowstrings in the hands of the Lin family guards on the courtyard wall were also tightened. He turned around and shouted.
"Hehe, we just heard that there seems to be a great treasure in this Ironwood Manor, so we came to take a look. Why are you so nervous, Brother Lincoln?" Yan Kuo, who was thin and bony, smiled and said.
Lincoln said coldly, "If you fight against my Lin family, your Black Dragon Stronghold will probably not fare any better."
"I know your Lin family is quite powerful, hehe, someone will naturally deal with you when the time comes. But today, my Black Dragon Stronghold will be the first to ransack Ironwood Manor!"
Yan Kuo let out a strange laugh, suddenly drew a large sword from his horse's back, and with a push of his foot, he sped off. His powerful Yuan energy condensed on the sword, and a blade of light slashed directly at the gate of Tiemu Manor.
Upon seeing Yan Kuo make a move, Lincoln flew into a rage, grabbed a long spear, and darted out, intercepting Yan Kuo in mid-air.
"Clang clang clang!"
Sparks flew in mid-air, and a fierce gust of wind erupted, ultimately forcing both of them back.
"Haha, that's great! Lincoln, today your Ironwood Manor only has one Heavenly Origin Realm expert, you can stop me, but you can't stop the others. Wu Sha, lead the men and charge in!"
Yan Kuo stood upright on the horse's back, let out a strange laugh, and stomped his foot hard again. The powerful force directly broke the horse's four hooves, and it crashed to the ground with a neigh.
"Haha, good, lads, follow me and charge in!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Sha grinned and waved his hand, taking the lead and charging towards Tiemu Village with a large number of Black Dragon Village men, their killing intent palpable.
"Lin Dong, Qing Tan, you and Xiao Yan go out of the manor to intercept and kill those ordinary bandits. The rest of you stay on the courtyard wall and just keep shooting arrows at the enemy!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He gave an order to the others, then jumped down from the courtyard wall and punched the leader, Wu Sha.
He wanted to keep this battle outside the gates of Tiemu Manor!
"Heh heh, the Lin family really has no one left. You, a mere brat, dare to come out and die!"
When Wu Sha saw that Lin Yi dared to jump out and take the initiative to attack, a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He clenched his right fist and unleashed a powerful surge of Yuan energy, smashing it fiercely towards Lin Yi's fist!
"boom!"
The two fists clashed, and a dull thud immediately echoed in the arena.
The next instant, to everyone's disbelief, Wu Sha on horseback was sent flying uncontrollably backward, crashing heavily into the bandit group behind him.
After knocking down seven or eight bandits in succession, Wu Sha finally staggered to the ground, his face turning pale and then flushed.
"Pfft!"
At the same time, Wu Sha's mount, under the shockwave of the Yuan energy from the two's battle, had all four limbs broken and collapsed to the ground, losing all its life force!
"Celestial Origin Realm?! How is that possible?"
Looking at the boy who landed gracefully, his dark and ferocious face was filled with disbelief.
To have reached such a level at such a young age, the Lin family has actually been hiding such a genius.
"Wu Sha, what are you up to?"
Yan Kuo, who was fighting Lincoln, saw Wu Sha being sent flying by Lin Yi's punch and his face turned ugly. He shouted out.
"This kid is also at the Heavenly Origin Realm!" Wu Sha replied, his eyes flashing, a murderous intent surging in his heart. "Such a genius absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
The Black Dragon Stronghold and the Lin family have completely broken ties. Keeping such a genius around will likely bring them annihilation in the future!
"What? How is that possible? How old is he? Are you even capable?" Yan Kuo was also shocked upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, even among those at the Heavenly Origin Realm, there are differences in strength!" Wu Sha shouted, his figure instantly shooting out, his powerful Yuan energy condensing in his palm, and then fiercely slapping towards Lin Yi.
"Let's finish this quickly!"
Lin Yi glanced around. There were still quite a few bandits in Black Dragon Stronghold. Relying solely on Lin Dong and Qing Tan to intercept and kill them would probably be insufficient.
"The Spiritual Illusionary Realm!"
Lin Yi let out a low shout, and the spiritual power within his Niwan Palace surged out, instantly enveloping Wu Sha.
In an instant, Wu Sha's body stopped. He slammed a Black Dragon Stronghold bandit to death with a single palm strike, his face contorted with a ferocious and triumphant smile as he laughed loudly, "Die! It feels so good to kill a genius like you!"
"Pure Yuan Finger!"
Looking at Wu Sha's smug laughter, Lin Yi shook his head slightly, put two fingers together, gathered his Yuan Power on them, and pierced towards Wu Sha's brow like a sharp sword.
Wu Sha was completely unaware of Lin Yi's attack and continued to laugh wildly.
"laugh!"
Lin Yi unleashed his Yuan energy from his fingertips, effortlessly piercing through Wu Sha's brow.
"you……"
Wu Sha only regained consciousness at this moment. He only managed to utter one word before falling backward to the ground with a "plop," dying with his eyes wide open!
"hiss!"
The Black Dragon Village bandits around them gasped in shock at the sight, their expressions filled with horror!
"The second boss is dead!"
Suddenly, someone screamed in terror and then frantically retreated, trying to distance themselves from Lin Yi.
Hearing the exclamation, both sides who were fighting looked over.
When they saw that Wu Shazhen had been killed by Lin Yi, everyone was shocked.
That was Wu Sha, a master of the Heavenly Origin Realm with rich combat experience, yet he died so easily at Lin Yi's hands!
"Damn it! How is this possible?!"
Yan Kuo's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and fear. He brandished his broadsword, forcing Lincoln back, and then fled into the distance.
"retreat!"
At the same time, his somewhat flustered voice rang out in the room.
Chapter 33 Total Annihilation, Luo Cheng's Good Fortune!
"Uncle, lead men to intercept and kill all the bandits, don't let a single one escape!"
Seeing that Yan Kuo was trying to escape, Lin Yi shouted to Lincoln and at the same time darted out, blocking Yan Kuo's path in an instant.
"Go to hell!"
Yan Kuo's face turned fierce, and he swung his broadsword down at Lin Yi with immense Yuan power!
"The Spiritual Illusionary Realm!"
Lin Yi's spiritual power surged within his Niwan Palace, quickly enveloping Yan Kuo. At the same time, he slightly shifted his body to avoid Yan Kuo's attack with his broadsword.
