Chapter 29: How Could It Be Him?

1446 Words
"Thud!" "Thump!" Just as Lin Dongjie subtly finished typing the text message and his body suddenly relaxed, two loud thuds rang out beside him. Immediately afterward, Yu Ze's swollen, blood-soaked head, even more exaggerated than Lin Dongjie's, slammed onto the opposite side. Upon landing, Yu Ze spat out a mouthful of hot blood, instantly splattering Lin Dongjie all over. "Ah!" Upon seeing the other's face, Lin Dongjie was startled. After all, that face was truly terrifying. However, after letting out a scream and feeling the burning pain on his own face, he completely broke down. He figured his face couldn't possibly be any better than the one in front of him. Another wave of tears, whether from shock, anger, or suppressed resentment, instantly filled Lin Dongjie's eyes. He managed to stand up with difficulty and roared at the approaching figure, "Xu Yu, you just wait! As long as today..." But the furious shout was met with a sudden, sharp movement as the figure lunged forward again. *Slap! * Another resounding slap sent Lin Dongjie, already barely standing, flying again... After the slap, the already desolate grassy area fell into a deathly silence. Beneath the silence, however, the faint, agonizing sound of teeth grinding could be heard. Good heavens, this guy is shameless! He didn't even let him finish speaking before delivering another terrifying slap. At this moment, Lin Dongjie was utterly terrified. He could only suppress his pent-up resentment and horrifying hatred, lying firmly on the ground, too afraid to move. As for Yu Ze, he had already been slapped so hard that tears, snot, and blood were all mixed together, and he was completely sprawled on the ground, no longer daring to make a sound. It was only at this moment that Xu Yu, who had been beating the two who had tried to rob him for quite some time, suddenly stopped in his tracks and let out a long sigh of relief. This time, he had truly felt relieved. The frustration he felt a few days ago when he was forced to leave home had now been thoroughly vented. He liked this feeling! Taking another deep breath, he glanced at the two people sprawled on the grass, and then Xu Yu suddenly felt depressed again. Admittedly, it was very satisfying to beat up the people who annoyed him so badly, but what about afterwards? Just leave like that? If these two came back to retaliate against him, or sent someone else to retaliate, would he have to do it all again? No matter how he looked at it, Xu Yu didn't think that if he left now, the two people on the ground would stop bothering him. Just thinking about this trouble made his head ache again. Perhaps killing them both directly would be the safest solution, but heaven knows, based on his experience, even when Li Duo forced him away, he never entertained the thought of killing anyone, let alone now. "How can I completely dispel their thoughts of revenge?" Filled with doubt, Xu Yu's brows furrowed again. With his silence, the area fell into a deathly stillness once more. Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze, sprawled on the ground, both suddenly stiffened, sensing the eerie atmosphere in the air. What does this guy want now? However, within his tense body, a burning flame of hope suddenly ignited in Lin Dongjie's heart. He could stall for time. He had managed to quickly send a text message amidst the explosions while the other party was brutally beating Yu Ze, thus escaping their notice. If he could just stall for a little longer, someone would definitely come to rescue him. Then, this guy who had made him wish he were dead would be crying! Xu Yu, standing ahead, had no idea what Lin Dongjie was thinking. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a good solution, and he was frustrated. After a long while, still unable to find a solution, Xu Yu suddenly turned around and looked back. Almost simultaneously, Lin Dongjie, who had been cowering on the ground, jumped up in a flash. They've arrived! With the sound of screeching brakes and footsteps heading straight for them, Lin Dongjie instantly knew that his reinforcements had arrived. In an instant, tears welled up again in Lin Dongjie's already swollen eyes. The person he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Yu Ze, standing to the side, also struggled to his feet. The Fourth Young Master's excitement—could it be that other members of the Lin family had arrived? Thinking of this, Yu Ze was also filled with extraordinary excitement. If it really was a Lin family expert who had arrived, that would be wonderful. "There are others?" Although he heard hurried footsteps, he didn't see anyone immediately. Xu Yu turned his head abruptly to look at Lin Dongjie and the other man. However, the slight doubt in his eyes was quickly suppressed by their current appearance. So there really were others. These guys were really annoying, as if they wanted this to never end? His face instantly darkened again. Xu Yu immediately checked the remaining spiritual energy in the jade pendant. Since there were more people coming, he would deal with them on the spot again. There were still three or four portions of spiritual energy in the jade pendant. This was his greatest reliance at the moment! The martial arts technique that Lin Dongjie had just used was indeed quite powerful. In just a dozen or so attacks, he had forcefully shattered half of the spiritual energy shield inside the jade pendant. "Haha, who is this friend who thinks so highly of my Lin family of Linzhou?" Just as Xu Yu lowered his head to sense the jade pendant, a figure finally flashed out from behind him. The man was about forty years old, with a rather handsome face. He was none other than Lin Zhongzhi, the current head of the Lin family. At this moment, Lin Zhongzhi was truly furious. Not long ago, he himself had been assassinated. He had only managed to escape danger by encountering an extraordinary person. Now, he had just completely resolved the previous matter when he unexpectedly received a text message from his eldest son, Lin Dongjie. The text message contained only one sentence: "Life in danger, exit the alley in Shalin Town." But these few words terrified Lin Zhongzhi so much that he immediately abandoned everything and sped over at top speed. Life in danger? The chilling meaning of these two words truly fueled his boundless rage. With Lin Zhongzhi's appearance, Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze, who were standing more than ten meters in front of Xu Yu, were once again moved to tears. "Father, you must avenge your son!!" Tears welled in his eyes, and Lin Dongjie howled hoarsely, his gaze fixed on Xu Yu with intense resentment. Lin Zhongzhi, a peak mid-stage cultivator, had mastered two of the Lin family's innate martial arts techniques. In terms of strength, he was incomparable to Lin Dongjie. He was absolutely certain his father could defeat this monster. But his words immediately ignited Lin Zhongzhi's already furious rage, causing him to see Lin Dongjie's face clearly. His swollen, disfigured face, covered in bloody handprints, made Lin Zhongzhi gasp, nearly fainting from anger. Good heavens, was this really his son? Suppressing his urge to explode, Lin Zhongzhi suddenly burst into laughter at Xu Yu's retreating figure, "Fine! I'll see what right you have to humiliate my Lin family's scion like this!!" A murderous aura, several times more potent than Lin Dongjie's earlier, surged into the sky, lunging directly at Xu Yu. But at that moment, Xu Yu, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly turned around, his face grim as he looked at Lin Zhongzhi, "So it's you?" Indeed, the moment the other spoke, he recognized him—this was the guy he had unexpectedly saved that day. He hadn't expected that this man would be the mastermind behind forcing him into this situation? In an instant, Xu Yu was enraged. Turning around, Lin Zhongzhi, who had been gritting his teeth and wanting to tear the other apart, suddenly seemed to have witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world. In a flash, all his momentum vanished, and he stumbled backward, his steps unsteady. In his hasty retreat, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Good heavens, what a joke! How could it be him?! "Gah~" Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze, who were just about to watch the show, instantly widened their eyes in shock, almost biting their tongues. What... what happened?!
