46: Chapter 46 Battle Against the Third Leader!

Lin Tian traveled through the night and finally arrived at Lin Family Village.

Looking from afar, the village was illuminated brightly by torches, with dozens of Black Wolf Gang members surrounding it, their swords and blades gleaming coldly in the firelight.

The people of the village had all been driven to the threshing floor, men and women, old and young, huddled together with terrified expressions.

Lin Tian's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace, rushing over.

"Stop! Who goes there?"

Two gang members blocked him.

Lin Tian ignored them, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, and he quickly found the figures of his parents and younger sister.

Zhao Shi was holding Lin Xiaohe, her Face pale, while Lin Dashan stood in front of them; although he was afraid, he did not retreat.

Everyone else was there too, and they didn't seem to be injured.

Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had arrived in time.

The Third Gang Leader stood in front of the crowd, waiting listlessly.

Hearing the commotion, he turned his head, saw Lin Tian, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Yo, you actually came?"

He stood up, looked Lin Tian up and down, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth:

"Kid, I've been waiting for you for a long time. The people from the Liehuo Martial Arts Hall said you would come, but I thought they were lying to me."

Lin Tian did not respond to his words and said in a deep voice:

"I am a Named Disciple of the Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall master. Moreover, I will soon take the Imperial Guard assessment and join the Imperial Guard. Give me some Face, and let today's matter go."

The Third Gang Leader was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"A Disciple of the Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall master? Hahahaha! Kid, you're too good at bragging, aren't you?"

After laughing enough, his Face turned cold:

"I've asked about you; you've only been practicing martial arts for about a year. You want to become an expert in one year? What kind of joke is that?

As for the Imperial Guard... only a Second Grade Martial Artist can enter. I don't even have that strength, and you?"

He shook his head and said disdainfully:

"Kid, if you're sensible, surrender. I'm only targeting you, not your clansmen. If you resist, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Tian's expression darkened.

It seemed he had no choice but to fight.

He took a deep breath, and the Qi and blood in his body began to circulate.

The next moment, his figure flickered, and he took the initiative to attack!

Unleashing his Wind-Chasing Footwork, he turned into an afterimage and instantly closed in on the Third Gang Leader.

Metal Element Fist, Golden Spears and Iron Horses!

His fist edge carried a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air, heading straight for the Third Gang Leader.

The Third Gang Leader's pupils constricted, and he reacted extremely quickly, striking out with a palm.

"Bang!"

The fist and palm collided, and a shockwave exploded.

Lin Tian retreated three steps, and the Third Gang Leader also retreated one step.

A look of deep shock flashed across the Third Gang Leader's Face:

"You... how is your strength so strong?"

He was at the Peak of the First Grade and had practiced martial arts for decades, with a strength of nearly two thousand catties.

Yet this kid before him, the strength of that punch just now was at least seventeen or eighteen hundred catties!

One year, and at the Peak of the First Grade?

This is impossible!

The Third Gang Leader roared, drew the long blade from his waist, and slashed down!

Wild Wolf Blade Technique, Wolf Howling in the Mountain Forest!

The blade light was like a streak of silk, carrying a chilling murderous intent as it slashed down at his head!

Lin Tian did not retreat; he unleashed his Metal Element Fist with full force to clash head-on with the blade light.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The fist edge collided with the blade, emitting the sound of clashing metal.

But no matter how strong the Metal Element Fist was, it was still flesh and blood, and ultimately at a disadvantage when facing a sharp blade.

After a few moves, Lin Tian was suppressed and forced to retreat step by step.

The Third Gang Leader sneered: "Kid, give up. You're still a bit too green to fight me!"

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed.

The next moment, his fist technique changed.

His left hand used the Wood Element Fist, Supple Branches Entwining Vines! The fist momentum was lingering, wrapping around the blade.

His right hand used the Metal Element Fist, Golden Dragon Impact! The punch came out like a dragon, striking straight at the center!

Both fists struck out together, combining hardness and softness!

The Third Gang Leader's expression changed drastically; he waved his blade to block, but was shaken by that combined force of hardness and softness, causing the web between his thumb and index finger to split open, and the long blade flew out of his hand.

Immediately after, Lin Tian kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

"Pfft—"

The Third Gang Leader spat out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground with eyes full of disbelief.

"All of you, attack! Kill those villagers!" The Third Gang Leader roared sharply.

The Black Wolf Gang members were stunned for a moment, then grinned grimly and began to close in on the people of Lin Family Village.

Lin Tian's eyes instantly turned red.

His figure flickered, and he was about to rush over to save them.

Just at this moment, a cold shout came from the distance:

"All of you, stop!"

The sound of hooves rang out, and a team of riders galloped over.

The person leading them was none other than the Second-in-Command of the Black Wolf Gang.

The Second-in-Command reined in his horse, jumped down, and frowned when he saw the Third Gang Leader lying on the ground.

He walked over, and without a word, slapped the Third Gang Leader across the Face.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of the slap left everyone stunned.

"Second Brother! What are you doing?" The Third Gang Leader clutched his Face, both shocked and angry.

The Second-in-Command looked at him coldly: "Trash! You don't even know you've been used as a pawn by someone!"

He turned and cupped his hands toward Lin Tian:

"Young Master Lin, this is a misunderstanding. On behalf of the Black Wolf Gang, I apologize to you. Let today's matter end here; we will leave immediately."

Lin Tian stared at him, his voice cold:

"You come when you want and leave when you want? Is there such a cheap deal in this world?"

The Third Gang Leader was furious and struggled to get up: "Kid, don't be ungrateful!"

The Second-in-Command kicked him back down, pulled a cloth bag from his bosom, and tossed it to Lin Tian:

"This is one hundred taels of silver as our apology. Young Master Lin, give us some Face."

One hundred taels!

The Black Wolf Gang members gasped.

The people of Lin Family Village were even more dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

One hundred taels of silver was enough for a village family to live on for decades!

Lin Tian took the cloth bag, weighed it, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly:

"Fine. I will give the Second-in-Command this Face."

The Second-in-Command cupped his hands: "Farewell."

He waved his hand, led the Black Wolf Gang members onto their horses, and soon disappeared into the night.
