Chapter 21: A Stunning Display!
The head of the Lei family's guards was named Dai En, a cultivator at the early Earth Origin Stage.
Seeing his men in disarray, Dai En bellowed, "Don't panic! It's just a juvenile Fire Python Tiger—it's nothing to fear!"
His words calmed the guards considerably, and their panic began to subside.
He then shouted to another Earth Origin cultivator, "Old Six, come with me! We'll kill that Lin family genius first!"
Old Six nodded fiercely. The two split left and right, closing in on Lin Fan like starving wolves.
Their powerful Yuan Power surged into their palms. The force of their strikes—strong enough to shatter stone—lashed out simultaneously at Lin Fan's head from both sides!
"Watch out, Young Master Lin Fan!"
From a distance, Qin Ying saw the ambush and shouted anxiously, ready to rush to his aid.
But Lin Dong held him back. "Uncle Qin, don't worry. Lin Fan-ge can handle it. Let's focus on the others."
Meanwhile, Lin Fan, the target of the dual attack, remained calm.
As the two men lunged in, he moved swiftly—left hand forming a fist, right hand a palm, unleashing the Tongbei Fist and Eight Desolation Palm simultaneously!
Boom! Boom!
The clash of fists and palms echoed with deep, thunderous thuds.
The fierce expressions on Dai En and Old Six's faces froze in shock. The sheer force of Lin Fan's counterattack sent tremors through their entire bodies.
Pfft!
Both men spat out blood simultaneously and were flung back like kites with cut strings, crashing violently to the ground.
"Argh!!"
They screamed in agony, feeling as though their bones had shattered from the inside.
Qin Ying, still intercepting Lei family guards, widened his eyes in disbelief.
"With just one move, he defeated two Earth Origin cultivators... Young Master Lin Fan must be at least mid-stage Earth Origin! What monstrous talent!"
The rest of the Lei family's guards were dumbfounded.
Then—terror gripped them.
Qin Ying seized the moment and shouted, "Dai En and Old Six are down! Do you still dare to resist?!"
Hearing this, the remaining guards hesitated only briefly before surrendering their weapons in fear.
"Confiscate their weapons and hold them here. We'll wait for the Elders to decide their fate!"
Qin Ying barked out orders, then began assisting personally.
Lin Dong scratched his head. "That's it? I didn't even get to fight."
Chuckling wryly, he joined the others in gathering weapons.
After swiftly dealing with Dai En and Old Six, Lin Fan didn't strike again. He simply stood and waited for Lin Xiao and Lin Ken to arrive.
Suddenly—
BOOM!
A thunderous roar echoed from deep within Tiemu Manor.
A massive figure, as tall and broad as a tower, burst into view.
"Lei Shan!"
Qin Ying's face turned pale. "Young Master Lin Fan, Young Master Lin Dong—retreat! That's Lei Shan, a late Earth Origin cultivator!"
In an instant, Lei Shan was within meters of Lin Fan.
He stomped hard on the ground, propelling himself into the air—his leg brimming with Yuan Power as he aimed a devastating axe-kick down at Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Qin Ying rushed toward Lin Fan, determined to shield him from the blow.
But Lin Fan calmly raised his left hand, gently pushing Qin Ying back with a wave of soft force. "Don't worry."
His hands then swiftly formed a complex seal. He thrust both palms forward—and a fire-red hand seal burst out to meet Lei Shan's falling strike.
It was the second form of the Five Element Seal— the Blazing Fire Seal!
BOOM!
The two forces collided with a deafening explosion.
Lin Fan stood firm, unharmed.
Lei Shan, however, was blasted backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
"FWOOSH!"
Flames suddenly ignited on Lei Shan's right leg, crackling upward.
Panicked, he rolled and slammed his leg into the ground, trying to extinguish the fire—but it was no use.
"AHHH!!"
The searing pain made Lei Shan scream uncontrollably.
Even dousing the flames with the soil-destroying liquid did nothing.
Watching the fire climb up his leg, Lei Shan made a brutal decision. With a roar, he raised his blade and chopped his leg off at the base!
"AAARGHH!"
As his leg fell, Lei Shan collapsed in agony.
Hiss...
The crowd gasped in horror.
Everyone stared at Lin Fan with awe and terror—even Qin Ying and his two men were shaken.
Just moments ago, Qin Ying had feared Lin Fan couldn't match Lei Shan.
Never did he expect Lin Fan not only to win, but to force Lei Shan to sever his own leg!
At that moment, only Lin Fan remained composed.
And only Lin Dong managed to stay calm—he'd long known how strong Lin Fan was and had also trained in the Five Element Seal.
Still, seeing the Blazing Fire Seal in action firsthand, Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch with awe.
Right then, Lin Xiao arrived in response to the signal.
"What happened here?!"
Qin Ying quickly relayed everything that had occurred.
When Lin Xiao heard that the ironwood had been destroyed, and even the soil contaminated, his face turned grim.
But upon hearing of Lin Fan's performance, he brightened considerably.
"Lin Xiao, until the official transfer, Tiemu Manor is still ours! You dare storm the property? You're clearly provoking the Lei family!"
Lei Ying and his men had just arrived, accompanied by reinforcements.
Lin Xiao's expression turned cold. "If we hadn't barged in, this place would've been reduced to ashes!"
Lei Ying's eyes swept the ruined grove. While not completely destroyed, it was enough to make him scowl. Useless fools!
"Third Brother, what happened?"
Lin Ken arrived with more Lin family warriors and asked.
Lin Xiao recounted everything that had happened.
Once again, the two sides clashed verbally.
Meanwhile, Lei Shan, groaning in pain, crawled over to Lei Ying's side and wailed, "Avenge me!"
Then he passed out from the pain.
Lei Ying glared at Lin Xiao and Lin Ken. "You've gone too far, Lin Xiao! Are you trying to start a war with the Lei family?"
