Chapter 223: Arriving at the Grand Flame County, the Confrontation Begins!
At this moment, in the vast and silent arena, Xiaocai's sudden action caused a surge of energy from her body that was not inferior to her opponent's. The old man in the hemp robe in front of her couldn't help but shiver.
Looking at Xiaocai, his eyes revealed extreme astonishment.
After all, in his eyes, Xiaocai was still very young. But to have strength equal to his at such a young age was completely incredible to him.
Floating in the air, he remained silent for a moment.
But finally, out of fear of Xiaocai, he prepared to retreat.
However, at this moment, Xiaocai could no longer contain her anger.
Although Lin Yan hadn't suffered many serious injuries, this old man was definitely looking for trouble.
So, she didn't want to let him go so easily.
"Attacking and then leaving? Not so fast!"
Xiaocai snorted coldly, her figure instantly becoming a nine-colored light.
In an instant, she appeared beside the old man in the hemp robe and struck him directly.
"What incredible speed!"
The old man in the hemp robe was clearly surprised by Xiaocai's speed.
He barely managed to track Xiaocai's position, but when she attacked again, he could hardly dodge.
He could only block with his hands.
Boom!
Xiaocai's strike hit the old man directly.
This time, he couldn't withstand it. He felt intense pain from the powerful energy and force. His hands even began to tremble from the pain.
In an instant, Xiaocai knocked him out of the air.
He fell to the ground, looking very disheveled.
But as soon as he got up from the ground, he saw Xiaocai's legs coming towards him. Once again, he was kicked to the ground and started rolling uncontrollably.
Puff!
The old man couldn't help but spit blood, and when he looked at Xiaocai, his gaze was filled with fear.
"Wow!"
"Miss Xiaocai, what formidable strength!"
"She's terrifying in combat!"
The members of the Lin Clan behind them were stunned. Especially after seeing Xiaocai's terrifying expression in her fury. They all vowed to themselves that they would never provoke Xiaocai in the future; otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Humph, die!"
Xiaocai struck the old man's head with force. With a single blow, the nine-colored light shone instantly, and the old man's head was split open by Xiaocai.
Killing someone didn't repulse her; after all, she had the memories of Queen Medusa, who was a ruthless killer by nature. Only because of her great affection for Lin Yan did she show the appearance of a good and obedient girl in her daily life. Otherwise, as the heir of Queen Medusa, she would surely become a great villain.
Therefore, killing a simple old man wouldn't disgust her.
"Master, won't you mind that I acted so violently?" Xiaocai still asked Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled and shook his head. "Of course not."
"That old man is not a good person after all."
"He came to forcibly take the Devouring Ancestral Symbol from us. If we weren't strong enough, he would have surely taken everything!"
At this moment, in the vast and silent arena, complete silence reigned.
The sudden attack by Xiaocai didn't go unnoticed by the old man in the hemp robe, whose body radiated a powerful energy wave, no less impressive than hers.
The old man's eyes couldn't help but tremble as he looked at Xiaocai.
After all, in his eyes, Xiaocai was quite young. But having strength comparable to his at that age was something incredible.
Floating in the air, he remained silent for a moment.
But finally, out of fear of Xiaocai, he prepared to leave.
But Xiaocai, at this moment, could no longer contain her fury.
Although Lin Yan hadn't suffered severe damage, this old man was definitely looking for trouble.
So, she didn't want to let him go so easily.
"Attacking and then leaving? Not so fast," growled Xiaocai, moving instantly like a multicolored light.
She approached the old man in the hemp robe and struck him hard.
"What incredible speed!" exclaimed the old man, clearly surprised by Xiaocai's speed.
He barely managed to track her position, but when she attacked again, he could hardly dodge.
He could only block with his hands.
Boom!
Xiaocai's strike hit the old man directly.
This time, he couldn't withstand the shocking force and energy. He felt his hands starting to hurt from the impact.
In an instant, Xiaocai knocked him out of the air.
He fell to the ground, looking very disheveled.
But as soon as he got up from the ground, he saw Xiaocai's legs coming directly towards him. Once again, he was kicked to the ground and started rolling uncontrollably.
Puff!
The old man couldn't help but spit blood, and when he looked at Xiaocai, his gaze was filled with fear.
"Damn!"
"Miss Xiaocai, what formidable strength!"
"She's terrifying in combat!"
The members of the Lin Clan behind them were stunned. Especially after seeing Xiaocai's terrifying expression in her fury. They all vowed to themselves that they would never provoke Xiaocai in the future; otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Humph, die!"
Xiaocai struck the old man's head with force. With a single blow, the multicolored light shone instantly, and the old man's head was split open by Xiaocai.
Killing someone didn't repulse her; after all, she had the memories of Queen Medusa, who was a ruthless killer by nature.
"Master, won't you mind that I acted so violently?" asked Xiaocai to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled and shook his head. "Of course not."
"That old man is not a good person after all."
"He came to forcibly take the Devouring Ancestral Symbol from us. If we weren't strong enough, he would have surely taken everything!"
"Against people like him, there's no need to hold back," agreed Xiaocai.
After a brief rest, the group resumed their journey.
After a long and uninterrupted trip, they finally arrived at the Grand Flame County.
The Grand Flame County, considered the most prosperous within the Flame Empire, also known as the Imperial County, where the imperial capital of the Flame Empire is located within this vast county.
In terms of area, it might not be as extensive as the Grand Wilderness County, but it is the most concentrated place of power within the entire Flame Empire. The four great families are all gathered here. Compared to these four great families, sects like the Grand Demon Gate and the Puppet Sect are on a lower level.
Therefore, the Grand Flame County can be considered the central area of the entire Flame Empire.
When they emerged from the depths of the mountains and saw the prosperous city in the distance, they felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.
Lin Yan didn't have many emotions about it, but for people like Lin Zhentian, the Grand Flame County was their holy land, and their greatest desire in life was to break free from the branches and return to the main family.
Therefore, at this moment, seeing the prosperity of the Grand Flame County from afar, they also felt deep emotion.
"Lin Langtian, we will meet again soon," murmured Lin Dong, his eyes flickering.
Lin Dong felt a deep resentment toward Lin Langtian. It could even be said that Lin Langtian was becoming his inner demon. After all, Lin Langtian had not only attacked his father, Lin Xiao, almost crippling him, but had also tried to crush his pride. With all these events influencing him, Lin Dong desperately wanted to skin Lin Langtian alive and tear out his tendons.
Between him and Lin Langtian, only one could survive. And Lin Dong's greatest desire at this moment was to kill Lin Langtian with his own hands. Lin Yan also noticed the slight hostility in Lin Dong but didn't say much about it. After all, there were things Lin Dong had to resolve on his own to free himself.
So, Lin Yan was also considering whether to kill Lin Langtian later or just let Lin Dong handle him personally. At least this way, he could help Lin Dong overcome his inner demon.
"Let's go," Lin Yan said, waving to the group. He then led them directly to Lin City, where the Lin family resided.
Nowadays, Lin City was probably the busiest place in the entire Flame Empire. Countless powerful figures and factions gathered here from all over, making the influx of people in Lin City reach its peak. And with so many people coming here, it was surely to witness the Lin family gathering. After all, history had shown that anyone who stood out in the Lin family's competition would become a prominent figure in the entire Flame Empire.
So, everyone came today to witness the birth of these prominent figures.
When Lin Yan and the others entered, they didn't attract much attention. After all, among all the branches of the Lin family, the Lin branch was just one of many and not very significant.
They waited for a while in their place, and finally, the family competition began, and their people successfully entered the competition. However, unexpectedly, they lost in the first round. And what's more, the family's attitude towards them was extremely hostile.
