WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 80: The Assault

Although the old wood was covered in moss, Lin Dong was able to see faint traces of some obscure Mystical Symbols. It was only then that he realized that this Mystic Symbol was probably the reason why his Mental Energy was vibrating.

Lin Dong's eyes only fixated for a moment on the old wood before he hurriedly withdrew his gaze. He pointed to the Grade 4 Green Wood Rhizome Potion as he looked at the black-clothed person behind the table and asked: "How much?"

Hearing these words, the person in black, who was also wearing a straw hat, raised the tip of his hat slightly as his toneless voice replied: "Hundred Yang Yuan Stones."

"Isn't that a little too much?" Lin Dong raised his eyebrows and retorted.

In response, the person in black stretched out his hands, refusing to speak a word. That direct and efficient action caused Lin Dong to be somewhat speechless. Do the traders here all have great personalities?

"What's this?" Lin Dong pointed to the moss-covered old wood and asked casually.

"Not sure." The person in black clothes replied nonchalantly.

After seeing that the seller was very honest about it, Lin Dong chuckled and continued: "This thing plus the Green Wood Rhizome Potion for a hundred Yang Yuan Stones, how does it sound?"

"One hundred and fifty pieces."

"Fifty Yang Yuan Stones for an object you don't know?" Lin Dong's brows furrowed as he asked.

“If I knew what it was, then it would not sell for fifty Yang Yuan Stones. From the obscure Mystic Symbol on it, it was definitely an item related to the Symbol Master. If not for no Symbol Master in this Qingyang City, I would never have brought this up for sale.” The person wearing the black robe lazily said: “If you want it, buy it. Otherwise, I won't force you.”

Lin Dong once again fell silent. He initially thought that he could take advantage of this situation. He never expected that this salesman was as cunning as a rat.

After standing in front of the booth for a while, Lin Dong could only sigh helplessly. He took out fifteen Yang Yuan Pills from his Qian Kun bag and threw them towards the person in black.

"Heh heh, you have talent." In one swift move, the person in black received fifteen Yang Yuan Pills, a pleasant surprise in his voice as he smiled and said.

In response, Lin Dong rolled his eyes. Without bothering to be polite, he took out the Green Wood Rhizome Potion and the old wood, and put it in the Qian Kun bag. Then, he turned around and left.

During the remaining time, Lin Dong strolled around the underground bazaar several times, yet he only managed to find one more Class 4 Elixir. After which, he had no choice but to give up and exit the underground bazaar.

As soon as he left the market, Lin Dong was still walking cautiously in the streets. When no one was around, he then took off his straw hat in a remote corner. Immediately after, he patted his Qian Kun bag as he walked towards the inside of the bazaar.

Lin Dong walked slowly through several streets as the buzz of the surrounding crowd involuntarily became softer.

Lin Dong's figure once again passed another path when his footsteps suddenly stopped. The bored expression on his face also slowly disappeared.

This was because he had discovered that there was no soul in sight on this path!

The bazaar was still the most crowded and popular place in Qingyang City, how could one of its streets be so empty? Moreover, he clearly remembered that this road was rather busy in the past …

“Swoosh!”

In an instant when Lin Dong's footsteps stopped, an extremely piercing sonic boom sounded. A sharp arrow exploded from one of the buildings like a flash of lightning. From a complicated angle, it curved towards Lin Dong's back with the intention to hurt him.

That sudden sneak attack caused Lin Dong's facial expression to change slightly as he frantically turned his head only to find the arrow was already approaching him and he had nowhere to dodge.

At that critical moment, Lin Dong did not lose his composure. His mind nudged as streams of Mental Energy immediately gushed out from his Ni Wan Palace!

The arrow was miraculously stopped in midair, only half an inch away from Lin Dong. A fragrant smell could be faintly seen from the tip of the arrow. Clearly, it had been smeared with deadly poison and if Lin Dong were to be exposed to it, he would die instantly!

"Someone tried to kill me!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Lin Dong immediately retreated as the arrow hovering in front of him fell to the ground. While Lin Dong retreated, suddenly, sonic booms sounded around him as bursts of arrows ruthlessly rained down on him.

With a solemn expression on his face, powerful Yuan Power surged around Lin Dong. He slowly expanded his Mental Energy and was able to see the trajectories of all the arrows before he deftly avoided them all.

“Swoosh swoosh.”

The arrows struck hard onto the floor and pierced through half a finger to the ground. Meanwhile, the tail of the arrow shook violently as it let out a buzzing sound.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

As Lin Dong tried to retreat, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. Immediately, he raised his hand upwards, as ten black shadows immediately flew out from his sleeves and were directed towards the roof of the surrounding buildings. Instantly, a series of low moans rang out as ten men holding bows fell from the roof.

"The man from the Lei Family!"

When he saw the clothes on these people, Lin Dong's facial expression changed slightly. He never expected that the Lei Family would act so despicable.

"Applause!"

Just as Lin Dong's expression turned ice-cold, the sound of applause sounded. Lin Dong turned his head, only to see two men smiling at him from a short distance away.

“Lei Pi!”

When Lin Dong saw the middle-aged man on the left, his brows furrowed. Naturally, he knew that this was a man who had quite a high status in the Lei Family. However, he never expected that this person would personally lead this mission. As for the man beside him, he was clearly an expert from the Lin Family. Based on Lin Dong's instincts, it seemed like the two were at least at the Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage…

“Haha, you are indeed a genius of the Lin Family. In just a matter of seconds, you have killed ten good people from my Lei Family. It is only fitting that Father wants you dead.” When Lin Dong furrowed his brows, Lei Pi replied with a smile. However, contained within his smile, was a dark and killing intent. It seemed like Lin Dong's lightning fast counter had far exceeded Lei Pi's expectations.

“Hehe, the Lei Family is really shameless. To deal with the members of the younger generation, you are truly exerting such great strength. If news of the matter spreads, your Lei Family will definitely lose all of its reputation.” Lin Dong laughed.

“Well, you don't have to worry about that. News of today's events will never spread.” Lei Pi waved his hand, an apathetic expression on his face.

"So the Lei Family really intend to go to war with the Lin Family?" lin Dong's eyes looked just as dark. The actions of the Lei Family clearly showed that they intended to fight with the Lin Family.

“In two months, the Lin Family will become a pack of homeless dogs. At that time, Lin Zhentian and the others will accompany you.” Lei Pi said with a menacing smile as his mouth opened and exposed his pearl white teeth.

"However, before that happens, I will first take care of you!"

“Huff..”

Lin Dong took a deep breath before he exhaled gradually. On his somewhat childish face, an astonishing expression appeared as he immediately set his foot on the ground and charged towards Lei Pi and co!

"I'm worried that with just the two of you, you don't have the qualifications to kill me!"
