C25 The martial arts garden refused to enter!
The martial arts garden refused to enter!
Let go of Hu Lao Er's hand, Lin Dong stabbed the dagger into his other eye again, and pierced deeply into Hu Lao Er's head!
"Now you won't die with regrets. I'm so kind!"
Lin Dong took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, the thick stench of blood did not make him feel disgusted!
However, looking at Hu Lao Er's corpse, Lin Dong could not remain indifferent. After all, he had killed a human and not a wild beast, and this was the first person he had killed!
"He deserves to die. If I don't kill him, I will die and that girl will be humiliated."
"If I want to become a powerhouse, it's impossible for the path of the strong to not be filled with slaughter. If I have to kill, I have to kill!"
Lin Dong thought in his heart, his somewhat uneasy heart quickly became determined!
There were no movements in the surroundings, the young lady who saved him previously had already left quietly. Lin Dong looked at the clothes of the horse bandit, this horse bandit was actually a warrior who had awakened his martial spirit, so he might have some good stuff on him.
Squatting down, Lin Dong quickly fumbled around, and very quickly, he found a thin book.
"Wind and Thunder Steps."
Lin Dong's eyes lit up, it was actually a martial skill, and a footwork skill at that.
Flipping through it quickly, Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised. This was actually a high-grade Yellow Rank footwork technique, its price was extremely high. Even if he did not use it, it would definitely be worth at least 10,000 gold coins!
"This footwork thunder type or wind type martial spirit is the best to cultivate. I, as a martial artist, am not the best, let alone awakening my martial spirit. The path of cultivation has only just begun!"
Lin Dong took a deep breath. Thinking back to the battle just now, he was still a little afraid, if he did not heavily injure the horse bandit first, the horse bandit would have underestimated his opponent.
A high Huang grade martial skill, that was a very high grade martial skill. Don't look at how he was able to obtain a top Huang grade martial skill from the Wind and Thunder Academy, that was only for rent, there was a time limit! If one did not comprehend it within a certain period of time, the rented secret manual would have to be returned to the Wind and Thunder Academy's Martial Repository Tower!
Some brothers, or rather, won't they copy it down after renting it?
If copying was useful, secret manuals wouldn't be called secret manuals, and wouldn't be so precious!
A secret manual could only be copied after one had cultivated it to the Great Perfection Stage. Moreover, writing secret manuals consumed one's essence, energy, and spirit. Even if one had reached the Great Perfection Stage, no one would be interested in writing many of them!
Exhaustion of essence, energy, and divine would greatly affect one's cultivation!
According to Lin Dong's knowledge, the top martial skills of the Four Great Families were that the upper Huang grade had not reached the top grade!
Of course, Lin Dong's current understanding of the Four Great Families was limited.
Other than this martial skill book, there was only some gold and silver, Lin Dong did not care much now, but he had taken all of them. No matter how small it was, mosquitoes were still meat, and he had lived a long and bitter life!
"I wonder if I can learn this upper Huang grade footwork martial skill. If I can learn speed increase, then my strength can also greatly increase!"
Lin Dong thought as he stood up and prepared to leave. There would be more danger if he stayed on this side for a little longer.
But after taking just two steps, Lin Dong had a strange feeling that it was a kind of desire.
It was as if there was something in the bandit leader's body that attracted him!
"What's going on?"
did not leave immediately. Instead, he placed his hand on the bandit leader's chest as per his desire.
Immediately, Lin Dong felt a cold flow from the bandit head's body into his own body, as if it had penetrated deep into his own soul!
As the cold flow flowed into his body, that thirst and thirst disappeared, and Lin Dong suppressed the doubt in his heart and immediately left.
Two minutes later, several mounted gangsters approached the yard.
"Why didn't Boss Hu make a sound?" This wasn't his style. Was he physically weak today? "Hehe!"
"It's really strange that it's not good. There's the smell of blood."
Outside the courtyard, a few bandits' expressions changed. They immediately entered the courtyard and quickly found the dead body of Hu Lao Er lying on the ground. The ground around him was dyed red with blood!
"Boss Hu is dead."
A mounted gangster immediately cried out in alarm as he caught the breath of the second brother of the Hu family. The mournful whistling sound immediately rang out. This was a whistle that would only be heard when the most important person in the mounted gangster class had died!
Lin Dong sped up his pace and left. Many mounted gangsters rushed over quickly.
Lin Dong tensed up, he tried his best to avoid it, and after about 10 minutes, he finally arrived at the side of the martial arts garden where the Lin Family was.
"I finally made it."
Lin Dong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Hu Lao Er was a little leader, once he dies, the horse bandits would frantically search for the culprit. If he did not quickly hide, Lin Dong did not have the confidence to hide for long.
The entrance to the martial arts garden was closed tight. When Lin Dong saw that there were no mounted gangsters nearby, he quickly rushed to the entrance.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Lin Dong knocked heavily on the door. It was not a polite time for these mounted gangsters to turn a blind eye to one another.
"Who is it?" A low sound came from the door.
Lin Dong hurriedly said: "I am Dongzhuang Lin Dong, the horse bandits are savage, I want to go in and take shelter for a while."
"Who's Lin Dong? Is there really such a person in the east villa?" Someone asked in doubt.
"No, there is definitely no one called Lin Dong in our Lin Family. Could it be that some wild dog is called Lin Dong?"
"It's better if the wild dog died, haha!"
Lin Dong's face darkened, he did not have the Lin Clan's bloodline, but he had grown up in the east villa, so he had a fair amount of recognition towards the Lin Clan. He did not expect those fellows in the martial arts garden to speak in such a vicious manner.
"Everyone, if I die here, I'm afraid you won't be able to take responsibility!" Lin Dong said in a heavy voice.
"What a joke, we can't afford to take responsibility for the death of a dog." Someone inside sneered.
Lin Dong's face became even more unsightly, there was a high possibility that there was someone powerful in the martial grounds, if not for that, the people who spoke would not be so bold, they truly wanted him to die!
"Great Clan Elder, I, Lin Dong will remember this debt!"
Lin Dong roared in his heart, the sound of horse hooves sounded out, and horse bandits rushed over. Lin Dong immediately left the door and wanted to hide in the forest, but it was too late. The horse bandit had already discovered him howling and encircling him.
"Ma Liu, take him away!"
Without saying anything else, the leader of the mounted bandits coldly said.
"Brat, run to the city gate or die!"
The bandit called Ma Liu scolded with a face full of viciousness. The knife's edge was stained with blood. Just now, he must have killed someone.
Lin Dong immediately ran, while running he calmly looked around, but there were always many mounted gangsters around who did not give him any chance to escape!
At the city gates, over a thousand mounted gangsters were gathered on the empty ground, all of them wielding weapons and radiating a fierce aura.
There were three to four thousand people brought here just like Lin Dong. They had the advantage in numbers, but their momentum was far from that of a horse bandit, and their strength was also far from that of a horse bandit. The majority of the three to four thousand people were ordinary people.
"Unlucky."
Lin Dong sighed in his heart, wasn't it just coming over to buy medicinal ingredients? How could such a stupid thing happen to him!
"Kid, be more honest. Otherwise, this will be your end!" Ma Liu pointed in a direction and said coldly.
Lin Dong looked in that direction.
There were many corpses on the ground. Some of them should be quite strong.
"Damn it!"
The anger in Lin Dong's heart soared, amongst the corpses, there were actually a few children's bodies. One of the children's heads was chopped off, his parents were also lying beside him in a pool of blood.
Under his extreme anger, the cold current that was deep within Lin Dong's soul was quickly absorbed and transformed. During this process, Lin Dong's body did not change, nor did his Qi increase, but his soul was growing stronger!
"What's going on?"
Inside Lin Dong's soul, Di Wen was very suspicious, this matter was not his doing, it was something deep inside Lin Dong's soul.
"It seems to absorb Martial Spirits. Do you want to absorb Martial Spirits for your own use?" Di Wen thought.
As time passed, more people were caught at the city gate, and more firewood was gathered.
As the firewood piled up, Lin Dong had an ominous premonition in his heart, causing the eyes of many people around to reveal expressions of fear.
"All of you, go up or die!"
The bandit leader coldly said. He was a large bald man, about two meters tall, with muscles that looked like they were cast out of steel. One could tell with a single glance that he contained terrifying power within!
"So powerful."
Lin Dong thought.
The aura that came from the bandit leader's body terrified Lin Dong. The bandit leader must be a Martial Master!
With his Martial Spirit awakening, he could only become a Martial Master by releasing his zhenqi. Lin Dong's current strength was far inferior to it!
"Go up, or die!" Thousands of horse bandits roared in unison, their voices like thunder that shook the heaven and earth!
"Wow!"
Some of the children were scared to the point of crying, but their cries were immediately cut off. Their mouths were tightly covered by the adults beside them. One of the children who had died earlier was killed because of crying!
"Milord, I'll give all of my money to you. Let me go."
"Lord, I beg of you, please be merciful!"
Many people pleaded for mercy, many of them kneeled on the ground to plead for mercy, but the mounted gangsters did not accept it, under the threat of the mounted gangsters' blades, thousands of citizens were pushed to the firewood, Lin Dong was among them!
"F * ck!"
Lin Dong was panicking in his heart, the firewood was filled with oil, and with just a little bit of fire, it would immediately burst into flames!
"Carry him up!"
The bandit leader said coldly, and the moment he finished speaking, the corpse of Old Second Hu was quickly carried by two bandit to the pile of firewood.
Lin Dong's face changed, could it be that it was because of Hu Lao Er?
"Who killed you? Come out yourself, otherwise, you will all die together with Brother Da Zhi!" The bandit leader coldly said, "With the six thousand of you to accompany him in death, I believe Brother Da Zhi will be able to rest in peace!"
These mounted gangsters were truly crazy. In order to avenge the mounted gangster, they had captured so many citizens who were threatening them with their lives. As long as they were not satisfied, Lin Dong reckoned that there was a high chance that the fire would be ignited and thousands of citizens would either be burnt to death or be hacked to death!
"I will only give you a single incense stick of time. When the time is up, the murderer has yet to come out and start the fire immediately!"
