After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

The entire room fell silent.

Immediately, an even louder burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha! This kid really dares to do that!"

"Thirty thousand spirit stones! Isn't that practically giving them away for free to the Xiong brothers?"

"A bastard wouldn't pass up a chance to make money! I'll add another five hundred and bet on the three Xiong brothers!"

The spirit stones on the gambling table piled up even higher.

The three Xiong brothers looked at each other, bewildered by Lin Fengmian's nonchalant demeanor.

The burly man in the middle scratched his head and said in a deep voice, "Kid, where does your confidence come from?"

Lin Fengmian didn't answer, but instead beckoned with his finger, looking at the three of them provocatively:

"What? You're afraid?"

"Damn it! You're asking for it, kid!"

The burly man was enraged by his dismissive gaze and roared:

"Alright! I'll play with you today! If you lose, you'll not only have to hand over the token, but you'll also have to kowtow three times to us three brothers and call us 'Grandpa' three times!"

"Okay." Lin Fengmian nodded, his smile unchanged.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Before the burly man could finish speaking, he had already sprung up!

Despite his imposing, towering physique, his movements are surprisingly agile.

With one step, he was already in front of Lin Fengmian.

A palm as big as a fan slammed down on your head with a whooshing sound!

"A wild bear slams its paws against the mountain!"

Before the palm even arrived, the powerful wind pressed down as if it were a tangible force!

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow.

This speed was much faster than he had imagined.

But he remained calm and unhurried, lightly tapping his foot—

"call out!"

The figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

The burly man's palm struck empty air, and he staggered forward involuntarily.

"Huh? Where did they go?!"

He suddenly looked up and glanced around.

"Big brother! He's up there!"

The second brother beside him exclaimed in surprise.

The burly man looked up and saw that Lin Fengmian had somehow leaped into the air and was smiling at him.

"Hmph! What's the use of jumping high!"

He snorted coldly and slammed his fists into the ground!

"boom--!"

The ground trembled violently, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye exploded from under his fist, sweeping out in all directions!

Lin Fengmian spun around in mid-air, using the residual force of the shockwave...

It rose several more feet higher and landed lightly on a tree not far away.

"Kid, didn't you say you wanted to fight? Why are you just dodging?!"

The burly man roared in a deep, impatient voice.

Lin Fengmian stood on a tree branch, looking down at him, and chuckled softly:

"What's the rush? I'm just warming up."

"Warm up my ass!"

The burly man was completely enraged and turned to his two brothers, roaring:

"Second brother! Third brother! Attack together! Beat this brat to a pulp!"

"good!"

"Big brother's here!"

The three of them roared in unison and sprang up simultaneously!

Three burly figures, like three moving hills, charged fiercely towards Lin Fengmian!

With each step, the ground trembled violently, leaving deep footprints!

That aura was simply terrifying!

Upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators retreated hastily, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Tsk tsk tsk, with all three brothers attacking together, this kid's finished!"

however--

Lin Fengmian watched the three figures getting closer and closer, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He lightly touched the branches with his feet, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed towards the three of them!

"court death!"

The burly man at the head roared and threw a punch!

The force of the punch was so strong that it created a shockwave in the air!

The other two, one on the left and one on the right, simultaneously unleashed their fists, blocking all of Lin Fengmian's escape routes!

A pincer attack from three sides, with no way to avoid it!

Everyone seemed to already see Lin Fengmian being blasted away by a single punch.

however--

Just as the three fists were about to land on him—

Lin Fengmian's figure disappeared again!

It's not retreating, it's not dodging, but rather—

Vanish out of thin air!

The three fists collided violently!

"Bang--!"

With a muffled thud, the three of them were jolted back several steps by the force of each other, their arms going numb.

"Damn it! Where are they?!"

The burly man cursed angrily and looked around.

"Big brother! He's up there!"

The second brother exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked up and saw that Lin Fengmian had appeared above the three of them at some point, hovering steadily on a flying sword made entirely of crimson gold.

Lesser Heavenly Gang Sword.

"That's the same trick again! All you can do is jump around?!"

The big man was so angry that he yelled loudly.

Lin Fengmian looked down at him and chuckled softly:

"What's the rush? This is just the beginning."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a hand seal with one hand—

Two streams of light shot out simultaneously from within the dantian!

The Shadow Sword is as black as ink and moves without a sound.

The Golden Edge Sword, pale gold like the sun, exudes a powerful and unrestrained sword aura.

Three flying swords hovered around him, their tips all pointing at the three people below.

"go!"

Lin Fengmian pointed his fingers downwards like a sword!

Three flying swords shot out simultaneously!

The sword energy pierced the air, its sharpness unmatched!

The Little Heavenly Gang Sword transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, aiming straight for the burly man's face!

The Shadow Sword moved silently, circled around to the side, and aimed straight for the second brother's ribs!

Jin Fengjian's sword energy was at its strongest, and he directly confronted the third brother!

Three sword lights, as fast as lightning!

The burly man's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively crossed his arms to block in front of him!

"Savage Bear Iron Wall!"

A thick layer of earthy yellow light condensed on his arms, transforming into a semi-transparent shield!

The other two did the same thing, their entire bodies covered in an earthy yellow light!

"Clang clang clang—!"

Three loud clangs of metal striking metal rang out almost simultaneously!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The three flying swords slashed fiercely at the three men's defenses, but only left a few shallow sword marks before being deflected!

The three of them remained completely still!

"Hahahaha! Kid, your sword energy can't hurt us at all!"

The burly man laughed loudly, beaming with pride.

"We three Xiong brothers cultivate the 'Savage Bear Body Technique,' and our specialty is defense! Your attacks aren't even enough to tickle us!"

however--

Looking at the three earthen-yellow figures, Lin Fengmian was not discouraged at all; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.

really.

He guessed right.

The strength of these three is defense.

Thick-skinned and incredibly strong, a typical tank-type monk.

If it were an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would indeed be helpless against such an opponent.

But Lin Fengmian—

This is no ordinary early stage of Foundation Establishment.

With a thought, he returned the three flying swords to his dantian.

Then, he leaped off the flying sword.

"Bang!"

His feet landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He stood with his hands behind his back and walked towards the three people.

His pace was unhurried, neither hurried nor slow.

The surrounding cultivators were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This kid has given up!"

"Jumping off the flying sword, is this an admission of defeat and surrender?"

"What a coward! He was putting on quite a show just now!"

"Quickly! Give me back the spirit stones!"

Laughter rose and fell.

However, the laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

Lin Fengmian did not surrender. Instead, he suddenly exerted force with his feet and charged towards the three of them like a tiger released from its cage!

That speed was astonishing!

A shockwave exploded in the air!
