WDQK: Incredible Understanding At The Beginning

Chapter 28: The Black Dragon Village Attacks!

"They are from Black Dragon Village. It seems that their target is not Grandpa and his men, but Steel Wood Manor," Lin Tian said, surveying the bandits outside the village with a calm expression.

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Lin Xia and the others on the courtyard wall turned pale.

Seeing this, Lin Tian chuckled and reassured them, "Don't worry! Grandpa and the others aren't home, but Third Uncle and I are still here. Besides, Lin Dong has also broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Stage!"

"The audacity of the Black Dragon Village to invade Steel Wood Manor! This time, they will never come back!" Lin Dong proclaimed proudly. 

Lin Xia and the other young members of the Lin family felt much more relaxed hearing Lin Tian and Lin Dong's confidence. Yes, although Lin Xiao was the only master among the elders, they had two prodigies, Lin Tian and Lin Dong, among the younger generation!

"Everyone, be alert!" 

At that moment, Lin Xiao arrived at the courtyard wall and shouted loudly. His voice rang throughout Steel Wood Manor, reaching every corner.

Hearing Lin Xiao's steady tone, the Lin family guards and miners, who were initially anxious, began to calm down. The guards who remained in the manor quickly armed themselves, climbed up the courtyard wall, and watched the approaching cloud of yellow dust with serious expressions.

Soon, a black flag emerged in Lin Tian's line of sight.

On the flag, an embroidered ferocious dragon exuded a fierce aura!

"It's indeed the people from Black Dragon Village!" 

Seeing the flag, Lin Xiao frowned slightly but remained composed. He made his decision immediately.

"Tian'er, Dong'er, you lead everyone to defend against the bandits from Black Dragon Village. As for their two leaders, leave them to me!" 

"Yes, Third Uncle!" Lin Tian and Lin Dong responded in unison.

Most of the Lin family guards had already been taken by Lin Zhentian, leaving the number of guards significantly smaller than that of the Black Dragon Village bandits. Without reinforcements, the guards in the village would struggle to match the bandits.

One of the bandit leaders was in the early Heavenly Yuan Stage, while the other was in the middle Heavenly Yuan Stage. Lin Xiao, having already reached the Early Yuandan stage, could easily deal with both of them.

"Haha, Lin Xiao, it's been a while since we last met, yet you turn me away so rudely right after greeting. Isn't that a bit disrespectful?" 

The rumble of horse hooves soon ceased as the leader of Black Dragon Village, Yan Kuo, along with the second leader, Wu Sha, rode out and shouted towards Lin Xiao on the courtyard wall.

Lin Xiao replied coldly, "Yan Kuo, Wu Sha, you lead a large group from Black Dragon Village to attack my Lin family's manor. How can you still talk of courtesy?"

Yan Kuo smirked faintly and said, "We've heard there's a big treasure in Steel Wood Manor. If the Lin family is willing to give us half, we will leave immediately. What do you think?"

"You are dreaming! Yan Kuo, if you want your Black Dragon Village destroyed, I suggest you retreat immediately!" A cold light flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes as he replied.

"People die for money and birds die for food. Since the Lin family refuses to share the treasure with us, we have no choice but to take it ourselves!" Yan Kuo laughed boisterously, suddenly drawing a large knife from his horse and furiously charging forward.

His blade of light slashed violently at the gate of Steel Wood Manor.

Lin Xiao's fury surged as he grabbed a big knife from a guard, leapt forth, and intercepted Yan Kuo mid-air.

"Dang!"

The two blades collided, producing a sharp sound and unleashing a terrifying gust of wind that left the young Lin family members on the courtyard wall feeling dazed.

"Plop!"

In the next moment, Yan Kuo's lean figure uncontrollably fell from the air and landed on the ground.

"Puff!"

Yan Kuo couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood immediately afterward.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this scene, everyone from Black Dragon Village gasped in unison!

Their boss—a strong man in the middle stage of the Heavenly Yuan Stage—had been struck to the point of vomiting blood by Lin Xiao with just one blow? 

When did Lin Xiao become this strong?

The younger generations of the Lin family and the guards were equally astonished by the spectacle.

As well as being shocked, joy spread across their faces. If even the leader of Black Dragon Village couldn't withstand one move from Lin Xiao, how could they possibly be afraid of the other bandits?

Lin Xiao gazed down at Yan Kuo lying on the ground with a cold glint in his eyes. He jumped directly from the courtyard wall, intent on finishing Yan Kuo once and for all.

"Wu Sha, help me! If I die, do you think Lin Xiao will spare you?" Seeing this, Yan Kuo's face shifted dramatically as he shouted at Wu Sha, who stood beside him. He endured the pain in his internals, picked up his fallen long sword, and staggered toward Wu Sha.

"My men! Attack together and kill Lin Xiao! You can enjoy all the treasures and women in the village!" 

Wu Sha's expression changed as he shouted loudly, rallying the bandits from Black Dragon Village to charge Lin Xiao.

Yan Kuo and Wu Sha weaved through the crowd, persistently urging the bandits to halt Lin Xiao while keeping their distance, their eyes filled with trepidation.

As they watched Lin Xiao dispatch bandit after bandit, the two men felt the desire to retreat growing within them.

"Everyone, stay alert in case any bandits from Black Dragon Village try to rush in. Qingtan, take Huo'er with you and protect them." 

Lin Tian observed the scene below the courtyard wall and instructed Qingtan, Lin Xia, and the others.

Qingtan, Lin Xia, and the others nodded in response.

Then, Lin Tian turned to Lin Dong. "Let's go help Third Uncle by capturing all the Black Dragon Village bandits! Take Little Flame with you and let him take out their horses."

Lin Dong was excited by the suggestion. He agreed and mounted Little Flame, leaping down from the courtyard wall.

"Roar!"

Little Flame's roar thundered, startling the Black Dragon Village's horses. Many horses stumbled and fell, throwing their riders to the ground.

Lin Tian and Lin Dong plunged into the ranks of the Black Dragon Village bandits, slaughtering them as if they were tigers among a flock of sheep.

"Brother, those two are Lin Tian, the foremost genius of the Lin family, and Lin Dong, Lin Xiao's son," Wu Sha hissed to Yan Kuo as he witnessed them.

"Great! We can capture them one by one, and then we won't have to worry about Lin Xiao resisting!" 

Yan Kuo's eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed.

"Brother, you are wise!" Wu Sha flattered him with a sinister grin.

"Get started!" 

Yan Kuo shouted, his figure flashing as he charged toward Lin Dong.

In his mind, Lin Dong was Lin Xiao's son, and capturing him would allow better control over Lin Xiao.

Wu Sha raced towards Lin Tian, extending his five fingers as powerful energy gathered in his palms. With lightning speed, he swung his hands, aiming ferociously for Lin Tian's neck!
