"I don't need to hide," Xiao Lin replied with a faint smile.
"Damn it!" Jiang Wang and the others gritted their teeth upon hearing this.
They never expected that this fifteen-year-old boy would possess the cultivation level of the True Martial Realm.
Such a huge disparity made them feel desperate.
However, Xiao Lin did not immediately kill him. Instead, he stared at Jiang Wang with a playful smile on his lips.
"Kid, what do you want?"
Meeting Xiao Lin's slightly sinister gaze, Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine.
"Weren't you looking for me?"
Xiao Lin shrugged: "Right now, I'm standing right in front of you. What? Got scared?"
"Hmph, kid, don't try to outdo me with your words!"
After a brief moment of panic, Jiang Wang quickly calmed down, his face hardening with coldness: "You injured my cousin and even killed him. Today, I will kill you."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of Yuan Qi erupted from Jiang Wang's body, reaching the level of True Martial Realm Level 3.
Following Jiang Wang, the other young men also took to the air.
"Didn't you say you were going to get revenge on me?"
Xiao Lin smiled mockingly: "Now that I'm here, why don't you make your move!"
"court death!"
Jiang Wang coldly shouted, "Everyone, let's join forces and take down this country bumpkin!"
call out!
As soon as Jiang Wang finished speaking, the other youths rushed out.
Splash!
They flicked their toes, picked up fist-sized rocks from the ground, and ruthlessly hurled them at Xiao Lin.
"Trash." Xiao Lin couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to these attacks.
With a casual flick of the wrist, he accurately struck the stones in the hands of each young man.
bang bang bang...
In an instant, all the stones exploded and scattered in all directions, knocking over all the Jiang family youths and causing them to fall to the ground.
As for Xiao Lin, he stood proudly in the void, majestic and unmoving.
"What?!" Upon seeing this, all the onlookers widened their eyes, revealing expressions of disbelief.
One strike!
Just one strike!
Even a young master at the peak of the second level of True Martial Realm couldn't withstand Xiao Lin's attack, but he was instantly defeated.
Xiao Lin's combat prowess was simply terrifying!
"Hiss... Just who is this person?"
"As expected of the legendary Xiao family descendant, he's incredibly powerful!"
"I wonder if such an existence can stand against the Jiang family?"
"Those few good-for-nothings, Jiang Wang, have probably wasted their time!"
Amidst the shock, the onlookers began to discuss the matter animatedly.
The Jiang family is Jiang Wang's backer. If Xiao Lin really had that kind of power, Jiang Wang would have already called for reinforcements. Why would he be wasting time here arguing?
"Damn it, this bastard's strength has actually reached the True Martial Realm."
"No wonder he dared to participate in the county selection competition; it turns out he was relying on his own strength."
Jiang Wang's pupils contracted to pinpoints, and his mind trembled violently.
He originally thought that with his True Martial Second Level cultivation, killing Xiao Lin would be a piece of cake!
Who would have thought that Xiao Lin was so much stronger than him!
"Get back!" Suppressing his fear and worry, Jiang Wang took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
“Jiang Wang, we…” The young men behind Jiang Wang hesitated.
"Just step back when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Jiang Wang rebuked him, then turned to stare at Xiao Lin: "Xiao Lin, you are not weak. If we fight one-on-one, I'm afraid it will be a draw."
"In that case, how about we make a bet?"
"If you win, I will never mention this matter again, and I will even offer you a thousand spirit crystals as compensation."
"If I lose, I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang took out a thousand spirit crystals and tossed them to Xiao Lin, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Oh? How do you want to gamble?" Xiao Lin said calmly, glancing at the spirit crystals.
"It's very simple."
Jiang Wang grinned maliciously: "How about we have a contest of alchemy skills? The loser will kneel down and beg for mercy."
He was already well aware of Xiao Lin's expertise in alchemy.
Therefore, he wanted to compete with Xiao Lin in alchemy.
"Your terms are good, I agree."
Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled easily and said, "But my condition is that you must admit defeat and then leave the Jiang residence."
"What? You actually want me to admit defeat?" Jiang Wang was stunned.
The other onlookers were also completely bewildered.
Although Jiang Wang's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, it had reached the peak of the second level of True Martial Realm, and he was only one step away from the third level.
How could Xiao Lin, who is only sixteen years old, possibly be a match for Jiang Wang?
Under normal circumstances, if the two were to clash, Jiang Wang would definitely crush Xiao Lin.
However, when everyone realized what was happening, they were shocked to see Jiang Wang with a face full of bitterness and regret.
His words had thoroughly enraged Xiao Lin.
Thump!
Immediately afterwards, amidst countless stunned gazes, Jiang Wang's knees buckled and he knelt on the ground.
“Young Master Xiao Lin, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you. Please forgive my petty offense.”
Bang! Bang!
After saying that, Jiang Wang began to slap himself hard across the face, crying and shouting, "Please spare me! Please have mercy on me!"
Snap snap snap snap...
The crisp sound of slaps rang out continuously.
Every time Jiang Wang slapped himself, he would raise his left arm to block his right leg, while kowtowing to Xiao Lin to admit his mistake.
In the blink of an eye, half of his cheek was swollen from the slap, and his forehead was scraped and bleeding.
"Jiang Wang actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed to a teenager to confess his sins?"
"What...what exactly happened?"
Everyone was bewildered by this scene, wondering if they were seeing things.
Those spoiled young men who followed Jiang Wang were especially struck dumb, standing there like statues of clay or wood.
What are you doing?
Xiao Lin frowned slightly, flicked his finger to release a wisp of wind, and lifted Jiang Wang up.
"Young master, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."
Helped up by Xiao Lin, Jiang Wang remained in the kowtow position, wailing, "I really know I was wrong, please don't kill me."
"You've got some nerve."
Xiao Lin shook his head: "First you ambushed me, and now you're forcing me to admit defeat. You really are insidious and ruthless!"
“Young Master Xiao Lin…” Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang looked aggrieved.
"Alright, I won't bully you anymore."
Waving his hand, Xiao Lin said, "Since you want to compete with me in alchemy, then use your best alchemy technique."
"That way, I can accept defeat wholeheartedly."
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's words, Jiang Wang was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"However... my alchemy skills far surpass yours, so you'd better not regret it."
"Don't worry, I will never regret it!" Xiao Lin smiled indifferently, then stepped into the square.
"Jiang Wang, you piece of trash, hurry up and get him!"
"That's right, hurry up and teach this little bastard a lesson, I'm getting impatient."
"Hurry up and let us see your talent in alchemy, Jiang Wang."
