Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Red-faced Xie Yingying, Green-faced Lei Li

Xie Yingying's appearance caused a bit of panic among the Lin family members.

Lin Xia's expression also turned serious.

Months ago, Xie Yingying was already at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer. Even if she hadn't broken through to the Body Tempering Ninth Layer by now, she wouldn't be far off.

Lin Xia was definitely not her match.

"Brother Lin Yun, let's go over quickly. Lin Xia is about to be bullied by that woman," Qing Tan said worriedly.

Just now, Lin Xia had beaten Xie Ting so badly. Xie Yingying would definitely show no mercy when she attacked. If she slapped Lin Xia a few times in front of everyone, Lin Xia would probably be too ashamed to show her face. Xie Ting, who had been beaten, was still covering her face.

"Okay, let's go over."

Lin Yun nodded, and at the same time, he created a task in his mind.

Task: Teach Xie Yingying a lesson. Reward: One bottle of Fourth Grade Origin Qi Pill.

"You've only been here for a few years, and your Lin family has already forgotten whose territory Qingyang Town is. If you hit someone from my Xie family, you should be prepared to pay the price."

Xie Yingying's beautiful eyes narrowed, and Origin Power surged within her body. Her palm turned into a claw. Her Origin Power was more condensed and significantly stronger than what Lin Xia had just displayed.

However, the most vicious part was that Xie Yingying directly clawed towards Lin Xia's ample chest.

She wanted to make Lin Xia look foolish in front of everyone!

Her intentions were malicious.

Lin Xia quickly retreated, her expression slightly flustered. The opponent's speed was not inferior to hers at all.

At this moment, a tall and straight figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Lin Yun blocked Xie Yingying's hand with one palm and forcefully struck out with the other. Caught off guard, Xie Yingying had no time to react and was hit squarely by the palm.

Rustle, rustle, rustle... Xie Yingying's feet scraped against the ground, sliding back over a dozen steps before stopping when she bumped into someone from the Xie family.

"You... shameless!"

Xie Yingying covered her chest, which was throbbing with pain from the impact, and looked at Lin Yun with angry eyes.

He actually... launched a sneak attack.

"Whoa—"

The onlookers burst into an uproar, their mouths wide open. Many of them had sparkling eyes and subconsciously rubbed their hands. They also wanted to experience what Lin Yun had just done.

Xie Yingying was one of the top beauties in Qingyang Town.

Moreover, she was a high and mighty young lady full of nobility. The key was that she was also engaged, and her fiancé was the number one young master in Qingyang Town, Lei Li of the Lei family.

To do something like that to such a woman.

Just thinking about it was exciting.

He's got something... Lin Yun shook his hand, relaxing his wrist which had been shaken by the elasticity just now.

The men around him looked at Lin Yun with envious eyes, whispering among themselves. This made the faces of the Xie family members extremely ugly.

Noticing the gazes of the people around her, Xie Yingying's face turned red and hot. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Enduring the pain in her chest, she lowered her hand and pretended that nothing was wrong.

"Shameless? Heh, I'm just giving her a taste of her own medicine," Lin Yun said indifferently.

If Lin Xia had been grabbed just now, her clothes would probably have been torn off by Xie Yingying. Then it would be Lin Xia who was too ashamed to show her face at this moment.

"Despicable fellow!"

A tall and straight figure rushed down from the second floor opposite the Lin family's shop.

"Lei Li!"

"It's Lei Li, he was actually peeking from across the street."

"Haha, watching his own fiancée being bullied with his own eyes, no man can tolerate that."

"Now there's a good show to watch."

"Speaking of which, who is this kid who hit Xie Yingying? He looks a bit unfamiliar."

"He should be Lin Yun!"

"I haven't heard of such a person in Qingyang Town."

"Two months ago at the Lin family's competition, Lin Yun stood out and won first place. He's the number one among the younger generation of the Lin family. I heard he's an orphan, so he rarely appears."

"To be able to repel Xie Yingying, this Lin Yun is not simple."

"I wonder if he's a match for Lei Li."

"Look quickly, Lei Li's face has turned green, haha. He's probably burning with anger right now. This Lin Yun is going to be unlucky."

...

Lei Li's appearance directly pushed the atmosphere at the scene to a climax.

The already lively gathering, with its large crowd, now had such an exciting event happening. The onlookers were already three layers deep.

"Brother Li, you must help me teach this shameless fellow a lesson," Xie Yingying said hatefully, grabbing Lei Li's arm like a little wife who had suffered a great grievance.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll definitely make him pay," Lei Li said, patting Xie Yingying's hand to comfort her.

Xie Ting quickly followed up with a sweet voice, "Brother-in-law, and that slut Lin Xia, don't let her off either."

Lei Li nodded, not replying. His gaze was gloomy as he looked at Lin Yun and said,

"Lin Yun, right? Which hand did you use to hit Yingying just now?"

Lin Yun raised his left hand and said with a rather serious expression, "This one."

Then, the next second, he put down his left hand and raised his right hand, "No, it seems to be this one."

Lin Yun looked a bit confused, shook his head, and continued, "It was too fast just now, I forgot which hand specifically. How about you let your fiancée come over, and I'll demonstrate again."

"Pfft..."

The surrounding people couldn't help but chuckle softly, looking at Lin Yun with admiration and secretly giving him a thumbs-up. Because they didn't dare to offend the Lei and Xie Families, they could only hold back their laughter at this moment, their expressions strained.

"Hahaha..."

At this moment, a group of unrestrained laughter attracted everyone's attention. Compared to the fart-like, snickering laughter of most people, the laughter of these individuals was like thunder.

The dozen or so people who suddenly appeared were all teenagers around sixteen or seventeen years old. They wore the same clothes, and on the chest of their clothes, there was a pattern embroidered with a large saber that danced like a fierce wind.

"Mad Blade Martial Hall."

As soon as they saw these people, the crowded onlookers immediately made way.

One of the three major powers in Qingyang Town, on par with the Lei and Xie Families.

They weren't afraid of the Lei and Xie Families, and they were usually mortal enemies. Now that they saw the Lei and Xie Families being humiliated, they naturally didn't hesitate to step on them.

Among this group of arrogant teenagers, the leader was a slightly lean young man. The young man's palms were unusually large and covered with calluses, clearly from frequent saber practice. At this moment, this young man smiled and gave Lin Yun a thumbs-up, saying with appreciation, "You are that Lin Yun from the Lin Family? This is our first meeting, I didn't expect you, brother, to be so courageous. You are indeed one of us."

"Wu Yun, this is between him and me. Don't come here to join the fun." Lei Li's face became even gloomier, and he said coldly.

Lei Li was somewhat wary of Wu Yun. This guy was a lunatic. He was worried that if he fought with Lin Yun, this guy might sneak attack him.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just curious which hand he used? So I came closer to take a look. You guys continue!" Wu Yun continued to smile cheekily, looking like he wasn't afraid of trouble.

When Lei Li heard this, his face turned even greener, his anger level maxed out. Lin Yun's move had become his humiliation. Ignoring Wu Yun who was nearby, Lei Li couldn't help but want to teach Lin Yun a lesson.

"No need to look at which hand, both of his hands will be crippled, I said so!" After Lei Li finished speaking, he rushed angrily towards Lin Yun and threw a punch.

Lin Yun had been on guard all along. Seeing Lei Li come out, he used a flexible movement technique to dodge.

At the same time, he created a task in his mind.

Task: Fight Lei Li. Reward: A bottle of Fourth Grade Origin Qi Pill.

Task: Defeat Lei Li. Reward: Root Bone +2, Luck +2.

Lin Yun created two tasks.

Lei Li was already at the peak of the Body Tempering Ninth Layer, so he might not be easy to defeat. To be safe, he would create as many tasks as possible. Anyway, there was no impact if he couldn't complete them.

"Dodge, can you dodge?" Lei Li's fists glowed with a rich Origin Power luster, his Body Tempering Ninth Layer strength fully displayed. At this moment, he was enveloped in anger, striking with extreme ferocity. As his fists collided, a muffled sound echoed in the air, and the strong force of energy lifted all the dust from the nearby ground.

There were too many onlookers, leaving not much space for them to fight. No matter how flexible Lin Yun's movement technique was, he couldn't completely dodge.

But he didn't intend to dodge either! "Clap clap clap..."

Lin Yun responded with punches, using the Tongbei Fist which had reached a near-perfect level. It was smooth and fluid, meeting Lei Li's punches head-on and blocking all of them.

Although there was a difference of one layer in cultivation, Lin Yun's Origin Power was more condensed, and its power was not much weaker than Lei Li's. In terms of martial arts, Lei Li was simply no match for Lin Yun.

In the blink of an eye, ten rounds passed. Lei Li and Lin Yun were still fighting fiercely, and many of the surrounding facilities were damaged. Lei Li became more and more anxious as he fought, striking even harder, but he couldn't injure Lin Yun at all.

Whether it was movement technique or fist technique, Lin Yun performed better than Lei Li, giving Lei Li a sense of helplessness, having strength but unable to hit anyone.

"What a powerful fist technique, he actually blocked Lei Li's attack."

"This Lin Yun is really low-key. He's so powerful, I only found out about him today."

"Heh heh, looking at this, it's going to be difficult for Lei Li to cripple his hands. What a slap in the face."

"His sister-in-law was slapped in the face, his fiancée was punched in the chest, and now he can't do anything to him. This Lei Li doesn't seem that great."

The onlookers sighed one after another, shocked by Lin Yun. After all, Lei Li was famous, and they all thought Lin Yun would suffer a loss. Unexpectedly, Lin Yun's martial arts attainment was so high, and he was able to stalemate with Lei Li for so long with his Body Tempering Eighth Layer strength.

"I didn't expect the Lin Family to have such a person. I regret not meeting you sooner, I regret not meeting you sooner." Wu Yun's eyes lit up. He had originally planned to intervene, but he wanted to see Lin Yun's strength first. If Lin Yun was no match, he would step in to help him out. Anyway, he couldn't let the Lei and Xie Families be smug.

Lin Yun's performance now surprised him.

He didn't need his help at all.

He might even be no match for Lin Yun, because when facing Lei Li, he couldn't be as calm as Lin Yun.

He had to fight like a desperate man, attacking frantically, to be able to fight Lei Li, but in the end, he was still no match for Lei Li.

Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even the people from the Lin Family were extremely astonished.

Only two months had passed since the clan competition, and Lin Yun was already able to fight Lei Li.

"Is he already this strong?" Lin Hong's expression became more complicated, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

His younger brother, whom he had once looked down upon, had now surpassed him by so much.

He felt that he was getting further and further away from Lin Yun.

"Sister, do you want to go help Brother Lei Li?" Seeing that Lei Li couldn't take down Lin Yun, Xie Ting became a little anxious and whispered in Xie Yingying's ear.

Xie Yingying looked at Lei Li with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Her gaze subtly swept over Wu Yun from the Mad Blade Martial Hall, then turned to Lin Xia on the opposite side, seeing that both of them were focused on the battle in the arena.

With a hardened heart, she channeled her Origin Power, gathering it in her palm.

Xie Yingying seized the opportunity, suddenly rushing into the midst of their fight and attacking Lin Yun's back.

"Lin Yun, be careful!"

Many people were shocked by the sight and quickly shouted warnings.

But their reaction speed was simply not fast enough; it was too late to help Lin Yun now.

Lin Yun's expression changed slightly, but he wasn't overly flustered. Having mastered the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, he had already sensed the change in airflow behind him and knew he had enough time.
