Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Lin Dong was no saint. After the Dao Tu Gang members said those words to Miss Mu, they were already dead in Lin Dong's eyes.

The reason Lin Dong didn't act immediately was that he was assessing the opponent's strength.

His gaze slowly swept over the crowd. The scarred man in the lead, named Song Dao, had a faint Yuan energy fluctuation emanating from his body that was similar to that of Yue Shan from the Blood Wolf Gang. He was at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm.

Among the gang members behind them were many fierce individuals; at least two of them possessed an aura no weaker than Wei Tong's, and there were no fewer than five who had entered the Lesser Yuan Dan realm.

With such strength, the Knife Slaughter Gang is a tyrant even in Yan City, and a notorious bandit force throughout Tiandu County. It is far stronger than the Black Dragon Stronghold that the Lin family once destroyed.

For years, the Dao Tu Gang has been plundering and raiding in the Tianyan Mountains, and almost no one dares to provoke them. But today, they ran into Lin Shou. It is unknown who will be the unlucky one.

Although the Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection was strong, Lin Dong's current strength was not enough to make him wary. However, considering that the enemy had a large number of people and that the chaotic battle might affect Miss Mu behind him, Lin Dong suppressed his killing intent and stood guard in front of the beauty, not leaving her side for a moment, not giving the people from the Dao Tu Gang a chance to get close.

"Kid, I don't like the look in your eyes. With your mere Body Tempering Realm strength, you dare to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

A gloomy-looking man standing beside Song Dao looked at the thin figure blocking his view of the beauty and a cold smile flashed in his eyes.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, there was no fluctuation of Yuan Power. Clearly, he regarded Lin Dong in front of him as a Body Tempering Realm cultivator who had not yet cultivated the Yuan Power Seed, probably just a junior from some family who went out to train, and not worth paying attention to at all.

In contrast, the woman in white sitting with her eyes closed was more noteworthy.

"Brother, that woman's aura seems a bit off..." The gloomy man looked at Song Dao, his tone slightly cautious.

Mu Zi's current state was truly bizarre. Although she seemed unable to make a move and posed no threat, the lotus mark on her brow that shone like the sun and the trace of aura that she inadvertently leaked out shrouded her identity in a mysterious mist.

Such a woman with such beauty and temperament is rare in the world, making people wonder if she has an extraordinary background. Moreover, the fact that she dared to venture alone into the Tianyan Mountains with a "Body Tempering Realm" burden clearly indicates that her cultivation and strength are also quite extraordinary.

Although the Blade Slaughter Gang has always acted lawlessly, they still possess the ability to assess situations. The strange purple aura that enveloped the sky some time ago attracted the attention of many powerful outsiders, and Tiandu County and Tianyan Mountain Range were also targets of their attention. Perhaps the white-clad woman's purpose was the same as the Blade Slaughter Gang's—to investigate the possible existence of a rare treasure.

For the Blade Slaughter Gang, rashly confronting such an unknown powerhouse might not be a good thing. Although the veiled woman was captivating and they longed to kidnap her and bring her back to their stronghold, the thought of retreating ultimately prevailed, considering that such a remarkable and talented woman was probably beyond the control of the Blade Slaughter Gang's ragtag group.

"That's a bit of a stretch, brother. Perhaps we should reconsider?"

However, Song Dao refused the gloomy man's suggestion. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Lin Dong's gaze towards the aloof beauty's white fairy robes, and gave a cold smile.

"Song Que, you're still too naive. Now that we've offended them, do you think we can just back down and pretend nothing happened?"

"They say women hold grudges the most, especially beautiful women. Who can guarantee she won't retaliate against my Knife Slaughter Gang for a single word later?"

"At this point, there is no turning back."

"Strike while the iron is hot. If we wait until that woman wakes up, none of us might be a match for her!"

As soon as Song Dao uttered his cold words, the members of the Dao Tu Gang, who had been hesitant, no longer hesitated and their eyes turned murderous as they looked at the two women in white.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that morale was high, Song Dao looked in the direction of the woman in white and gave a deep order. However, before the members of the Dao Tu Gang could respond, the seemingly harmless young figure who was blocking the beauty suddenly sprang up and took the initiative to dodge towards Song Dao.

"At this speed, you're not in the Body Tempering Realm?"

Song Dao's pupils constricted involuntarily. The strong wind that was coming towards him had not yet reached him, but it made the hairs on his body stand on end. He felt an extremely strong threat.

Years of experience honed his fighting instincts by tasting blood on the edge of a knife, causing Song Dao to subconsciously wrap his weapon in his Yuan energy and raise it in front of him. The powerful aura of a Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection cultivator was released without reservation. Although it was a hasty attack, he had actually used all his strength to defend.

"Useless and full of nonsense."

Lin Dong's eyes were cold and indifferent. Before he finished speaking, he had already moved forward. His fist, which was wrapped in a strong wind, was thrown out without any fancy moves. As his arm muscles surged, a huge force roared out and almost instantly shattered Song Dao's Yuan Power defense.

Bang!

The ring-shaped broadsword in his hand exploded under the strain, and the flying fragments grazed Song Dao's cheek, leaving a deep bloody mark on his scarred face.

Song Dao coughed up blood and staggered back more than ten steps before barely managing to stop his fall. Then, he suddenly looked up and stared at the young man opposite him with a horrified expression.

"What kind of monster are you?"

In the instant of their clash, Song Dao felt an immense force surge towards him, as if he were facing a ferocious monster. Such a powerful physique was not something a human could possess.

Enveloped in Lin Dong's chilling killing intent, Song Dao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The pressure he felt at this moment was unprecedented. He had a crazy urge to warn that the person in front of him was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever encountered in his life!

But Lin Dong didn't give him a chance to say a second word. He stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and his figure leaped up like a storm, appearing above Song Dao. He delivered a powerful whip kick that ripped through the air and slashed down fiercely at Song Dao from mid-air.

"I......"

The terrifying sense of oppression made the muscles on Song Dao's face twitch. In desperation, he could only raise his left arm above his head. The next moment, accompanied by a chilling cracking sound, Song Dao's arm was instantly broken by the sweeping whip kick. The immense force caused his feet to sink deep into the ground, and cold sweat poured down his face.

"Boss Song Dao!"

The lightning-fast exchange shocked the members of the Blade Slaughter Gang. Their leader, who had been at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm for many years, was actually defeated by a mere youth with such overwhelming power that it made everyone feel dizzy.
