WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 34: Lei Li

One by one, astonished gazes looked at Xie Ting, whose cheeks were flushed red after receiving Lin Dong's slap. The space that was once noisy became completely silent.

The silence only lasted for a moment before some people regained their wits and stared strangely at Lin Dong, clearly flabbergasted by his decision. No matter what humiliation came out of her mouth, Xie Ting was considered beautiful. However this did not cause the slightest hesitation on Lin Dong's side.

“Cruise and firm.” The few people in the crowd were secretly evaluating Lin Dong in their hearts. This genius method, which had just emerged from the Lin Family, looked somewhat different.

Lin Xie and the others were also stunned by Lin Dong's actions. As they stared at the dazed Xie Ting, who was holding onto his cheek, a sensation appeared in their hearts. This bitch had always hated their Lin Family and seeing him being slapped by Lin Dong was extremely satisfying.

Just as a slap landed on Xie Ting's face, Lin Dong suddenly stretched out his other palm and firmly caught the explosive punch that was heading towards him. To his surprise, it turned out to be a broken stone. However the force behind the stone was unable to make Lin Dong's arm move at all.

"You hit me ... You really dare to hit me!"

Just as Lin Dong grabbed the broken stone, Xie Ting finally regained his senses. The burning sensation on his cheek caused his body to tremble. He raised his head and glared at Lin Dong with a horrifying expression, his face losing all traces of his previously haughty appearance.

“There will always be a price to pay for talking without thinking first.” Lin Dong glanced at him and replied indifferently.

"Who do you think you are, dare to hit me?" Lin Dong's relaxed expression made Xie Ting almost crazy. From a young age, who would dare to touch her?

Her pretty face twitched a little. The next second, he raised his palm and ruthlessly swung it at Lin Dong's face.

“Pak!”

Lin Dong stretched out his palm and easily stopped Xie Ting's palm. Just as he was about to push her, suddenly a cold cry resounded from the distance.

"I thought that would be enough?"

The Yuan power gathered in Lin Dong's palm gradually retreated as he tilted his head to see a young woman wearing a fox fur coat approaching them from a distance. The young lady exuded an elegant aura and her appearance bore a resemblance to Xie Ting's. However, she did not show an unreasonable or evil aura like Xie Ting. In fact, this woman looked very approachable, and this fact caused Lin Dong to frown.

"Sister!"

Upon seeing the young woman, Xie Ting's eyes reddened as he called out.

"Family Xie, Xie Yingying." At this point, Lin Dong also discovered his identity. This was the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Xie Family, Xie Yingying.

“You must be Lin Dong? Your actions from before are not good. Sometimes, acting rashly can cause your entire Family to suffer.” Xie Yingying looked at Lin Dong with her autumn spring water as she said it casually with a hint of cold tone in her voice.

"Where were you when they were bullying the people from our Lin Family?" Lin Dong replied with a sneer as he let go of Xie Ting while meeting the gaze of the thin young woman in front of him.

Xie Yingying raised her eyebrows. Just as he was about to reply, Lin Dong continued: “Let go of your nonsense. In the end, whoever was stronger would be in power. Since a long time ago, your Xie Family has been targeting our Lin Family. If you guys have the ability, you will drive us out of Qingyang City. The reason why we still survive is because you guys have no power and even if you could, you know that the price to pay would be too high!”

“He hit my Lin Family member. It's true that I hit him back. If you want to cause more trouble, go ahead, but spare me from your silly nonsense. ”

Upon hearing these words, many people in the surrounding crowd nodded. Lin Dong's words were harsh, yet also plausible. Over the years, the Lin Family had grown by leaps and bounds, and even though they did not directly cross paths with the Xie or Lei Families, they did, most people knew that the Lin Family would not lose out on everything from the Xie or Lei Families.

However, if the two Families allied, they would definitely defeat the Lin Family. Nonetheless, the Raging Blade Dojo would not allow that to happen. After all, after the Lin Family was eliminated, they knew that the next target was likely to be them.

Hence, over the years, the fragile balance had examined these four major factions. Therefore, it was childish to discuss which faction would eliminate which one.

Xie Yingying was at a loss for words over Lin Dong's reply. His face immediately turned a little ugly.

Just when Xie Yingying was silent, a laugh suddenly sounded and a figure jumped down from the second floor. Straightening his back, an overwhelming pressure was felt by every member of the younger generation present.

"Lie Li!"

As they stared at the sturdy-bodied young man, the expressions of Lin Xia and the others changed and they quickly crowded behind Lin Dong, worried expressions in their eyes.

"Sister Lei Li!" The Xie Family members shouted in excitement. In particular, Xie Ting was even more elated.

"Lei Li, she should be Xie Yingying's fiancee and the one referred to as the number one younger generation member in Qingyang City?"

Lin Dong's brows furrowed as he stared at the young man. The latter was around seventeen to eighteen years old and his body was extremely tall and well-built. Moreover, since he was quite handsome and had a bright and confident smile, he had less charm than the other members of the younger generation.

"Yingying, let me handle them." Lei Li smiled as he gently looked at Xie Yingying.

"Yes." Yeah." At the sight of Lei Li, Xie Yingying also gave a small smile. Immediately after, he turned to look at Lin Dong as a satisfied expression appeared on his lips.

“You must be Lin Dong? Ha ha's. I have to admit, I agree with what you said earlier. But let's clarify one problem. If not for the intervention of the Raging Blade Dojo, the Lin Family would have already been driven out of Qingyang City like a runaway dog with a tail under their feet.” Lei Li chuckled while observing Lin Dong.

"If the Lei and Xie Families were not allies, you wouldn't dare to say such words ... after all ..." Lin Dong casually replied with a smile.

"Alright, you have a way with words ..."

Lei Li's eyes narrowed as he shrugged his shoulders before cracking his knuckles. He stared right at Lin Dong and he smiled: "I have to admit once again that I completely agree with the other thing you said earlier. In the end, the stronger one is in power. Right now..maybe my strength is stronger than you and I want to avenge the slap you gave Ting-er.”

After hearing Lei Li's words, Lin Xia and the others' expressions instantly changed. It was said that Lei Li had long since advanced to the 9th Layer of Tempered Body. Although Lin Dong was at the Tempered Body 8th Layer, he was unable to fight Lei Li.

"Thump!"

Lei Li obviously did not plan to let Lin Dong reject him at any time. So, just as he finished his words, he immediately dashed forward and appeared in front of Lin Dong. On his fist, a thick light quickly appeared and the force behind the punch caused Lin Xia and the others to turn pale.

"Retreat!"

As he looked at Lei Li's lightning attack, Lin Dong's expression was focused as his back hit Lin Xia and the others, pushing them aside. Immediately after, a series of sharp echoes echoed in the square.

“Pa Pa Pa Pa.

"Penetrating the Ninth Echoes of Boxing?" After hearing this familiar voice, many people in the crowd were shocked as they stared at Lin Dong with admiration in their eyes. They had not expected that the latter could truly master the Penetrating Fist at such a young age. However, just based on that alone, it was still not enough to withstand Lei Li's attacks.

“Pak!”

Almost as if he knew what the crowd was thinking, after the ninth echo sounded, a soft little echo sounded from within Lin Dong's body. However, this echo was only heard by Lin Dong.

“Bang!”

Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, the two clashed together with their powerful blows causing a gigantic invisible shockwave to spread from the epicenter.
