Chapter 60: The Battle of the Two Goods

  The way of martial arts, hard work and natural talent are important, but they are far less effective than actual combat in improving one's skills. Through battle, one can temper their training, gain insight from the moment of narrowly escaping death, and find breakthroughs at the limits of physical strength amidst the flash of swords and shadows. This is the true path to growth for a martial artist.

  Lin Feng had been on the path of a warrior for some time, and he had his share of minor skirmishes with Wan Wan or Yang Liu, but these were far from being real battles. On the battlefield, he was still an inexperienced child, as white as paper, and more than anyone else, he needed actual combat to gain experience.

  He sensed a strong murderous intent in Lan Cong's eyes, and also an unyielding provocative gaze: This battle will be a fight to the death!

  "You, a mere second-rate cultivator at the initial stage, dare to offend the divine prestige of our Cao family? You little brat, go down to hell! Let me personally send you on your way!" Lan Cong shouted coldly, his internal energy already rapidly circulating.

  At this moment, the clan leader Huo Tianzhao rushed forward and blocked in front of him.

  "This brother, Lin Heng was momentarily impulsive and did such a reckless thing. Please give me some face, don't take action for now. For his offense, as the head of the Qi Li Gou clan, I will personally bring him to the Cao residence tomorrow and ask Master Cao to handle it himself."

  The blue wolf in front of him was a mid-second-class, and once he faced Lin Yang, Lin Yang had almost no chance of winning. The blue wolf's ferocity was fully exposed, and it seemed that at any moment it would kill Lin Yang.

  He saw Lin Hua's troops approaching and hastily came out to intercept them, inwardly cursing Lin Hua for being reckless. What kind of person was he that he had to offend the Cao family, and offend them to an irreconcilable degree at that?

  "This kid is really too impulsive, the Cao family of Qingniu Town has a powerful influence, even the head of the clan doesn't dare to disobey them. ... Alas, you're too impatient. If you wait for a while longer, like Chen Que, relying on the backing of the Upper Cangyun Gate, you might be able to suppress the Cao family."

  Now you're alone and empty-handed, with only a second-grade cultivation base, going to confront the Cao family is simply seeking death.

  Resentment returns to resentment, seeing Lin Huan's demeanor for his father, even the King of Heaven would dare not to mess with him. Only feeling that Lin Huan is a person with pure emotions, deep loyalty, and added deeper care in his heart.

  Lan Cong recognized Ho Tianzhao and knew he was a second-grade late-stage cultivator, a well-known veteran master in this area.

  He just relied on the Cao family, he didn't fear, he didn't believe that Huo Tianzhuo would offend the Cao family for such a small child.

  "Huo Zongchang, Lin Heng, although you are from Qili Gou. I advise you not to intervene, for your own sake and for the lives of the thousands of villagers in Qili Gou. Please carefully weigh the pros and cons, otherwise a momentary impulse will bring disaster to the entire Qili Gou."

  Huo Tianzhao heard his threat and was also worried in his heart.

  Undoubtedly, as the head of the Qi Li Gou clan, once he takes action, this matter will evolve from a confrontation between Lin Heng and the Cao family to a collective confrontation between the Cao family and the Qi Li Gou. In that case, the Qi Li Gou will face the Cao family's thunderous blow!

  Qili Gou appears once every hundred years, such a promising young man like Lin Hang cannot be allowed to come to harm. However, he is also aware of the severe consequences of offending the Cao family. Cai Zongguan being beaten to such a miserable state by Lin Hang is an unprecedented humiliation for the Cao family in Qingping Town for decades, and the Cao family will not easily forgive Lin Hang!

  Lan Cong saw him stop, thinking that his intimidating words had succeeded, and proudly turned around to walk towards Lin Hang's direction.

  Lin Heng was originally waiting for a fierce battle with this guy, but unexpectedly the patriarch came out to make trouble, and he couldn't wait any longer.

  He naturally knew the seven-mile ditch and every village here, for the Cao family, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't believe that the clan leader would sacrifice the lives of thousands of villagers in the seven-mile ditch for him. After all, as a clan leader, the minimum standard is to have super-emotional rationality and preserve the maximum benefit.

  The clan leader naturally did not want to suffer losses or die at the hands of the Cao family, but on the other side of the scale were the lives of thousands of people in the Seven Li Gully. Such a choice, a qualified clan leader would choose the latter without hesitation.

  "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Mid-second rank, humph, just right to let my 'Layered Heavy Fist' take you as a test subject!" Lin Heng's eyes revealed a murderous intent. Since he entered the first rank and could display the twelve-layered heavy fist of "Layered Heavy Fist", and recently he had comprehended the thirteen-layered heavy fist that surpassed his predecessors, he hadn't had the chance to find someone to try it out on. This big killing move really made him itch with impatience, just like a brocade-clad night walker, it was too lonely. If not for keeping it a secret, he almost wanted to find the only second-rank family head, Huo Tianzhao, to have a match.

  There is someone in front of me who is a guinea pig, and he doesn't have to hold back, can beat him to death, this is a great opportunity.

  "This Brother Lan, you are unaware that Lin Huan is now the successor of our Seven Li Gou's clan leader. His safety concerns the future of the entire Seven Li Gou. As for what is right or wrong, I will personally explain to Master Cao later, but for now, I won't let anyone harm a single hair on his head." Huo Tianzhao still stood in front of Lan Cong.

  Lan Cong was stunned for a moment, he had not thought that Huo Tianzhao would sacrifice the entire Qili Gou for Lin Heng, and willingly offend the Cao family to death.

  "It seems that you, Qi Li Gou, have made up your mind to share honor and loss with this person?"

  Huo Tianzhao was also forced to do so, and now that things have come to this point, he must protect Lin Huan at all costs. Even if he knew that opposing the Cao family in Qili Gou would lead to unpredictable consequences, he had to do it anyway. It's hard for Qili Gou to produce another genius like Lin Huan, and even if Qili Gou faces a great disaster, they must preserve this hope!

  On the other side, Cai Lai saw that Hao Tianzhao had actually made a move and suddenly looked up at the sky with a loud laugh, his face full of ferocity: "It seems that the Cao family has not shown its might for many years, now even a small village like this is not taken seriously. Good, good, Hao Tianzhao, I'll ask you once again, are you willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands in Qiuli Gou just to protect this little brat!!!"

  Lin Heng's heart suddenly warmed up in a critical moment, and the patriarch was able to withstand the pressure and protect himself.

  In an instant, a heroic spirit was born, and a fierce battle intent surged up to the chest, with some unknown power burning in the blood!

  He let out a long, piercing whistle, the sound waves of which echoed through the quiet mountain village, startling everyone present to cover their ears, and lingering on for a long time.

  "I, Lin Huan, will take responsibility for my own actions! My feud with the Cai family has nothing to do with anyone else, including Qi Li Gou. If the Cao family wants to find trouble with me, bring it on! No one has ever been able to make me yield, and no one ever will!"

  His words were firm and resolute, coupled with his previous sky-shaking long howl, the shock of sight and sound, the onlookers were all infected by his heroic aura.

  "Lin Hang, hold on! There are no cowards in Qili Gou!"

  "Lin Hang, you are the successor of the ancestral lineage of Qili Gou, forever!"

  The air was filled with high-pitched and sparse sounds, and the atmosphere began to thicken.

  Cai Lai and Lan Cong whispered that this was Lin Heng's territory, if they provoked the villagers' anger, they might get into trouble.

  Lan Cong said, "Lin Heng, since you've decided to take responsibility for your own actions, that's best. This also avoids the Seven Li Gorge becoming a sacrifice under the anger of the Cao family, which is beneficial for both sides. However, as a lowly and poor little brat, you heavily offended Director Cai, so my mission is to take your life! Don't blame me, blame yourself."

  His eyes then fell on Huo Tianzhuo.

  "Huo Zongchang, you also heard Lin Heng's words. I advise you not to interfere in other people's business again. Although there are more than 6,000 people in Qili Gou, it would be easy for the Cao family to destroy Qili Gou without even breaking a sweat! My suggestion to you is that as the leader of a village, you should think about the well-being of your own people."

  Hu Tianzhao wanted to speak again, but Lin Rong had already said: "Tribe leader, this matter originated from me. Then I will end it."

  Huo Tianzhuo saw his resolute attitude and secretly decided to observe the situation first before taking action, so he retreated to one side.

  Lan Cong saw that Huo Tianzhao had finally withdrawn from the matter, and he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He looked at Lin Heng with a scornful gaze: "Lin Heng, you're going to die!"

  In front of Lin Yang's home court, he really didn't want to drag on time.

  He saw a figure leap out, and in mid-air, a pair of legs appeared, constantly intersecting and kicking out with a fierce and elusive force.

  Lan Cong's entire body was like a wooden board that had lost its gravity, stretching flat in the air, and his legs kicked out in a crisscross pattern, producing layers of air vibrations.

  "One product martial arts, Thunder Toad Shadow Leg!" Huo Tianzhu was startled, he didn't expect that as soon as he went on stage, it would be a first-class martial art, and it would be the legendary extremely powerful first-class top-level martial art "Thunder Toad Shadow Leg".

  It's all over, Lin Huan is going to lose this time!

  Lan Cong's mid-term boundary was originally vastly different from Lin Huan's, and then he displayed the powerful "Lei Chengying Tui" move, leaving Lin Huan with no chance of winning.
