Chapter 93: With a Flick of His Axe, He Points Towards the Sky
Lufei Zi gently patted the handle of his fan, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and his face was even more radiant than when he saw Lin Yang duel against three strong opponents!
"This Lin Feng is indeed a stunning figure! Martial power is the foundation of the strong, and it's one of many abilities that martial artists possess. If Lin Feng only had astonishing martial power, he would be at most a powerful martial machine, but every step he takes shows that he's not just a simple martial artist."
He slammed his hand on the table, beaming with joy: "This person's strategic thinking and martial arts talent are equally impressive, making it impossible to gauge their depth. Most importantly, they have undergone long-term tempering, forging an unyielding determination that ordinary people can't match. Without drawing his sword, he is calm; once drawn, he is fierce and decisive, leaving no room for mercy! ... This is the true mark of a great leader, a talent worthy of being nurtured! I, Mu Bao, have made up my mind about this person!"
Mr. Twenty Thousand nodded slightly and praised: "If it were an ordinary person, he would have won this battle and retreated early, not daring to confront the Cao family. But he went against the grain and came out of his shell, without any servility towards the Cao family. Putting aside his innate talent for cultivation, Lin Huarong's actions are truly unexpected, strong and sharp!"
His challenge, seemingly reckless and impulsive, was actually carefully planned from the start, with each step steady as a mountain, forcing the Cao family to retreat step by step until they were at their wit's end. His will to fight was extremely infectious, and although he was alone, it seemed as if he had endless reserves of energy. Even before his sword was drawn, his enemies' hearts were already trembling with fear. He was indeed a rare talent.
"The Cao family has dominated Qingniu Town for nearly a hundred years, and their foundation is naturally not just these Tianwei and those inner door disciples. According to our Baobao Fang intelligence, they have hidden several low-key guest qings. With Lin Heng's strength, unless it's a fourth-rank strongman, no one can handle him now. The Cao family's guest qing is at most third-rank, so Lin Heng has nothing to fear and wants to kill Cai Lai here. If Cai Lai is allowed to return, it will be even harder to take his life."
Rufu nodded and said, "The most important thing is that Cao Jian's death has made his feud with the Cao family a settled matter. Unless Cao Guan returns, perhaps he can have the courage to cut off his arm, but these children are just a bunch of useless trash, don't expect too much. Lin Heng's goal is clear, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to dissolve the Cao family's power in Qingniu Town with lightning speed, and eliminate the impression that the various forces have an unshakeable and unbeatable foundation."
"As long as the Cao family is trampled, those forces that are not willing to be controlled by the Cao family or have been bullied by the Cao family and dare not speak out will naturally arouse their resistance, no longer obeying the Cao family's orders, no longer fearing the Cao family!"
On the stage, Cao Hongjuan was furious at Lin Heng's aggressive behavior, it was clear that Lin Heng was taking advantage of his recent promotion to third rank and significant increase in power, while she was off guard, to challenge the Cao family.
In Qingniu Town, the first Cao family that has been rampant for hundreds of years has always bullied people without anyone daring to fight back. Now, Lin Heng not only killed someone from the Cao family but also dared to challenge the authority of the Cao family in public! Her pretty face turned iron-green and then purple as she said: "Cai Lai is a member of the Cao family. Don't mention that he didn't make any mistakes; even if he did, it's up to the Cao family to punish him. You're just a small mountain village person who thinks you can be arrogant in front of our Cao family just because you've improved your skills?"
Lin Heng naturally calculated that she would protect her family, in the eyes of these Cao family members, the face of the Cao family was a big deal, even if it meant countless lives of others were not as important as one bit of their face.
"Hmm, then it's pointless to say more!" Lin Heng turned around and slowly said to the crowd below: "I, Lin Heng, hereby declare that all Cao family members present today, except for Cai Lai, if you do not wish to get entangled in my feud with the Cao family, please leave within ten breaths. After ten breaths, every single person from the Cao family will be killed by me, one by one, a hundred by a hundred, ten thousand by ten thousand..."
His words were firm and decisive, short and powerful, each word sent out, shocking the ears of tens of thousands of people.
The crowd below heard the content of his words and looked at each other in dismay, their minds a complete blank: was Lin Heng going to risk everything to wipe out the Cao family today?
From a distance, he stood on the stage, facing the wind, his figure resolute and unyielding. It was clear that Lin Heng was not joking!
What... what the hell... This... Everyone was at a loss for words to describe the shock of this moment.
The Cao family was stunned, no one had expected Lin Huan to dare to use such a powerful move in front of tens of thousands of people. "One person slaughter the entire Cao family?" This was an outright life-and-death challenge, meaning that Lin Huan and the Cao family would become sworn enemies, meaning that for the first time in decades, a native third-grade powerhouse from Qingniu Town would single-handedly take on the unbeatable Cao family!
Everyone was stirred up by Lin's overwhelming battle intent.
Lü Bu thought he was a calm person, but he was also shocked. Although Lin Hua and Cao's family had hatred for each other, he didn't expect Lin Hua to erupt immediately without giving face, using the threat of slaughter as a means to trample Cao's dignity!
Alas, regardless of the outcome, Lin's battle today will cause the Cao family's prestige to plummet and their glorious days are inevitably coming to an end! The Cao family is destined to exit the historical stage of Qingniu Town! Cao Pi was wise and capable for a lifetime, but unexpectedly, in just two short months, the winds and clouds changed, and the Cao family was actually brought to the brink of collapse by his own children.
Rufu originally had a slightly favorable impression of Cao Hongjuan, the fourth daughter of the Cao family. However, after this incident, he couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed. Her talent may barely pass muster, but having grown up in a wealthy and noble family without experiencing hardships, she is indecisive in her actions and cannot compare to even half of Cao Guan's demeanor.
If she had been decisive and firm from the start, meting out severe punishment to Cai, then keeping a low profile without making any further moves. Given the Cao family's power, it would have been more than enough to deal with Lin Huan. But now that things have developed as they have, she has been put in an awkward position where she can neither assert her authority nor avoid making a powerful enemy of a third-rank noble for the Cao family.
It can be said that Cao Hongjuan handled the whole thing too naively, with a spoiled princess temperament, and completely lacked a broad perspective.
Cao Hongjuan saw Lin Heng's unbridled and fearless attitude towards the Cao family, issuing open warnings and threats, her body trembling with rage...
"All heavenly guards, listen to the order! At all costs, behead Lin Heng and take his life. The reward is a set of second-grade martial skills and 100 first-grade elixirs! Those who are injured in battle will be rewarded with 20 first-grade elixirs!"
Two top-grade martial skills! One top-grade elixir! Although the Heavenly Guards were treated surprisingly well on a daily basis, they had never seen such generosity. They only got one first-grade elixir per month, and now they were being rewarded with ten at once? Although they knew Lin Huan was a third-grade powerhouse, they were drawn to the reward because there were many of them and it was too enticing. Everyone's eyes lit up. As soon as Cao Hongjuan finished speaking, everyone pounced on Lin Huan like tigers and wolves.
The Cao Family's Heavenly Guards consisted of fifty-five carefully selected second-grade strongmen. Due to the fact that this war was organized by the Cao family, they brought not only a large number of inner disciples to maintain order and security but also forty Heavenly Guards to protect the main figures of the Cao family. Although the top three Heavenly Guards had just been killed by Lin Heng, the remaining forty second-grade strongmen were still a terrifying force.
With the strength of these forty second-grade cultivators, they could wipe out any village in Qingniu Town.
Lin stretched out one hand, and on the other side of Qili Gou, someone threw out his "dull blade heavy axe". Before this, he had already told the clan leader Huo Tianzhao: today's decisive battle, Cao's family and him might not die without a fight. If it comes to a situation where he and the entire Cao family are at odds, Qili Gou should not intervene.
Lin Heng's reason is: There are certain important steps behind.
But his true intention was that the Cao family did not show defeat, and Qili Gou could not intervene, otherwise the situation would be very complicated. Because of his all-out slaughter, even if the Cao family won, with his three-product strong killer, the Cao family would inevitably suffer greatly, and no longer have the ability to move Qili Gou. If Qili Gou intervened prematurely, the Cao family would both be defeated, and even if they were seriously injured, neither of them would let go of Qili Gou.
As for himself being killed, the probability is zero. A third-rate strongman, even if he can't kill his opponent, will escape. When a third-rate strongman escapes, with Lingkong Yuwu, even a fourth-rate strongman can't kill him. So, his powerful challenge seems hot-blooded, but in fact it's a sure win, everything is within his calculations!
