Lei Pi’s gaze fell upon the sharp, gleaming “Shattered Origin Shuttle” in Lin Dong’s palm, and for some unknown reason, the hair on his entire body stood on end as if bound by some force.
He had never expected that Lin Dong, though appearing somewhat immature at a glance, would act with such extreme ruthlessness. Just now, facing the siege of two experts, not only did he show no signs of panic, but he even managed to kill one of them. With such methods, even Lei Pi couldn’t help but feel a shiver run through him.
“This time, we underestimated him…”
This thought arose in Lei Pi’s mind, but immediately afterward, a bitter feeling welled up deep within him. In truth, they hadn’t underestimated him; rather, Lin Dong had displayed an overwhelmingly powerful strength. No one could have anticipated that the young man who, half a year ago, could only barely defeat Lei Li, would reach such a terrifying level a year later.
“Dong’er!”
Just as Lei Pi’s eyes flickered, Lin Xiao’s urgent shout came from a distance, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps rapidly approaching.
Although the Lei family had a strong foundation, the Lin family also held some status in Qingyang Town, with many eyes and ears. Such a significant commotion here quickly reached Lin Xiao’s ears.
“Damn it!”
Realizing that Lin Xiao and his group had discovered them so quickly, Lei Pi’s face darkened. He glanced again at Lin Dong’s icy eyes and the “Shattered Origin Shuttle” in his palm not far away. Finally, he understood that this operation had not only completely failed but had also caused the Lei family to lose an expert at the Heavenly Origin Stage. This loss could be described as utterly devastating.
“You little beast, this isn’t over, just you wait!”
Lei Pi embraced Lei Xing’s corpse, his eyes filled with venomous hatred as he glared at Lin Dong. After leaving behind a cruel remark, his body shot away, intending to leap onto the rooftop and escape.
“Trying to leave?”
Seeing Lei Pi flee, Lin Dong let out a cold laugh. Since they had completely torn off all pretenses, he no longer needed to hold back any sentiment. An expert at the Heavenly Origin Stage was the Lei family’s most important asset. To be able to kill one was undoubtedly a pain that cut to the bone for them.
“Whoosh!”
Lin Dong’s arm suddenly swung up, and the “Shattered Origin Shuttle” in his hand transformed into a black streak of light, shooting towards Lei Pi with lightning speed.
However, Lei Pi had clearly been wary of Lin Dong’s actions, so as soon as he saw him make a move, a powerful Yuan Power immediately diffused around his body, and he shifted to the side, dodging the black streak.
“Hmph.”
Having dodged Lin Dong’s attack, Lei Pi was about to let out a cold laugh when a tearing sound came from behind him. Startled, he quickly shifted his gaze and saw that the black streak he had just avoided had impossibly turned back, once again shooting towards his head.
“How is that possible?!”
Lei Pi was utterly terrified by this sight. At this moment, the only thing he could do was quickly cross his arms behind his head to block.
“Thud!”
The black light heavily pierced Lei Pi's arm. His thick Yuan Power defense had been directly penetrated; the sharp short shuttle was almost entirely embedded in Lei Pi's arm, leaving only its tail, and fresh blood profusely flowed from it.
Having struck the enemy, another wave of fluctuation emanated from Lin Dong's Niwan Palace, intending to control and withdraw the "Shattered Yuan Shuttle." However, at this moment, Lei Pi seemed to have realized that Lin Dong could manipulate this short shuttle, so he immediately gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his arm suddenly tensed. He clearly intended to keep the "Shattered Yuan Shuttle" within his body, then his figure moved, fleeing in a desperate manner.
"You little beast, I will surely grind your bones to dust in the future!"
Lei Pi's figure quickly moved away, his resentful roar echoing from afar.
"What a pity..."
Watching Lei Pi's distant figure, Lin Dong shook his head with a hint of regret. He raised his hand, and the several "Shattered Yuan Shuttles" he had secretly fired earlier transformed into black light, returning and disappearing into his sleeve. If that person had been a little slower, he could have manipulated these "Shattered Yuan Shuttles" into a dense offensive, completely killing Lei Pi.
"Dong'er!"
Just as Lin Dong finished putting away the Shattered Yuan Shuttles, more than ten figures appeared at the end of a path, with Lin Xiao leading the way.
"Father."
Seeing Lin Xiao, Lin Dong smiled and said.
Lin Xiao rushed over frantically, his gaze sweeping across the scattered corpses on the ground. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he lunged forward, shielding Lin Dong behind him. His eyes scanned the surroundings, while the Lin family guards drew their swords from their scabbards, encircling the two of them.
"What happened?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's heavy voice, Lin Dong thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "People from the Lei family, Lei Pi and Lei Xing, attacked together, seemingly wanting to kill me."
"Lei Pi, Lei Xing?"
Hearing these two names, not only did Lin Xiao's face twitch, but even the expressions of the surrounding guards changed significantly. Everyone knew that those two were the most important figures in the Lei family, and their strength was at the middle stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, making them quite famous in Qingyang Town.
"The Lei family are a bunch of bastards!"
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and cursed, not expecting that to deal with a junior from the Lin family like Lin Dong, they would directly dispatch two of their most important members. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of fear. It seemed that Lin Dong's astonishing talent had stirred the Lei family's murderous intent. In the future, he must send people to protect him.
"Are you alright? And where are they?"
"I'm fine," Lin Dong smiled and said, "That Lei Xing should be dead, and Lei Pi can be considered to have lost an arm. I'm afraid he won't be able to use his arm for a short period."
Lin Xiao's thoughts seemed to freeze at this moment. Then, he abruptly turned his head, his eyes wide as he stared at Lin Dong: "Lei Xing is dead? Lei Pi lost an arm? You did it?"
*Swish! Swish!*
All the Lin Family guards surrounding them were also wide-eyed and open-mouthed at this moment, looking at the young man they had encircled, feeling a slight tingling sensation on their scalps. It was said that Lei Pi and Lei Xing were both masters who had reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, yet today, the two of them joined forces, even bringing some subordinates, and not only achieved nothing, but one was killed and one was injured?
"Good luck, just good luck..."
Seeing the gazes around him, Lin Dong felt a little awkward. If this matter wasn't going to spread sooner or later... he really didn't want to talk about it.
"Damn it, can good luck kill a master of the Heavenly Origin Realm?" Some loyal Lin Family guards exchanged glances, muttering to themselves.
Lin Xiao's mouth also twitched a few times, but in the end, he didn't say anything. At this moment, a similar storm of emotions surged in his heart. Facing two masters like Lei Xing and Lei Pi joining forces, even he wouldn't dare to claim such a feat.
"Good boy."
Slapping Lin Dong heavily on the shoulder, Lin Xiao finally exclaimed those three words with a mix of joy and pride.
