Chapter 53: Chapter 53 We Are Too Eager to Progress

"Just throw out a bone, and in an instant, countless wild dogs will come scrambling for food."

Xu Ruo’s face twisted with malice as she looked at the old master of the Du family, laughing hysterically.

"Du Lun, your noble family has been above everyone for so long, you’ve almost forgotten that even the ants underfoot can turn the sky upside down."

As she spoke, Xu Ruo suddenly turned her head and shouted loudly to the surroundings, "What are you all waiting for? Celebrate wildly! Celebrate without restraint!"

The old master of the Du family, Du Lun, suddenly had an ominous premonition. In an instant, it seemed like he realized something, and his face changed dramatically.

"Run, run quickly."

But just as the old master of the Du family shouted, masked figures appeared in every corner of the Du family without anyone knowing when they arrived.

These people swarmed into the Du family, killing everyone they saw. Each one was a martial artist with ranking, including many Seventh Grade Bone Forging Realm experts, wielding a thousand pounds of power, exploding with immense power with every punch and kick.

The Du family, which had just stabilized, collapsed again under this sudden attack by experts, and for a moment, continuous screams filled the air.

Zhong Lin, hidden under the eaves, also stroked his chin, speechless in his heart, "I didn’t expect I’d become a wild dog, but Guo Yanhuai sure understands human nature!"

The people who appeared in the Du family were, unsurprisingly, the civilian martial artists from the city.

Just as "Iron Arm Sword King" Xu Ruo said, he only needed to throw out a bone called "Blood Coagulation Technique," and countless wild dogs would come scrambling for it.

These civilian martial artists were eager to improve.

Normally, they wouldn’t dare to provoke the Du family, but now that the old master Du Lun was held up by Xu Ruo, it gave them plenty of opportunities.

"Among the chaotic army, there are masters indeed! To disrupt the two major families in Black Mountain County with no effort, without the support of these two families, one can undoubtedly siege the city better. Impressive."

Zhong Lin thought to himself for a moment, not rushing out, but continued hiding under the eaves, watching the "Du family battlefield" from afar.

After a while.

"Oh?"

Zhong Lin suddenly turned his head in a direction, a flash of joy crossing his eyes.

"I didn’t expect this guy to come back again? Since you’re here, don’t leave."

With a leap, Zhong Lin moved stealthily like a civet cat on the eaves.

From a pavilion, a masked martial artist emerged, not sure if due to fighting, part of the black cloth covering his face got torn, revealing a big beard.

He carried a bulging bag on his back, evidently with a plentiful harvest, and the short blade in his hand was still dripping with blood.

If Old Fang were here, he would recognize this as Dan Wenlong, who escaped from his grasp.

Whoosh~

A white streak shot through the night sky, Dan Wenlong, who was in motion, changed his facial expression, stomped his right foot heavily, defying gravity, leaned back horizontally.

After the white light passed, strands of hair fell from the air, cold sweat broke out on Dan Wenlong’s back.

Almost, just a little more and that blade would’ve swept across his neck.

Dan Wenlong angrily stared at the uninvited guest who appeared before him, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he spoke in a deep voice, "Friend, the Du family is destroyed today, countless valuables, jade, and martial arts await. Why not help yourself instead of making things difficult for me?"

"Dan Wenlong, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," Zhong Lin said coolly.

Not really waiting, more like living in fear.

Ever since knowing Dan Wenlong might come back to retaliate after his escape, Zhong Lin had been worried, spending the past few months digging tunnels, visiting the black market, all aimed at quickly enhancing his power to prevent this bastard from truly coming back to take revenge.

Now, finally encountering him, even if they had no enmity, Zhong Lin needed to eliminate him, to settle the dread he’s experienced in the past few months.

Zhong Lin brandished his long blade with a gesture full of indescribable grace under the lingering flames of the Du family courtyard, as if man and blade fused into one.

Dan Wenlong also knew he couldn’t get away from this easily. Although he didn’t recognize who was in front of him, the fact that the person could call out his name meant there was likely a grudge.

"Kill!"

Dan Wenlong stomped his right foot hard, his leg under the hem of his garment suddenly swelling, veins popping, he moved swiftly like an arrow, weaving through the wind.

Zhong Lin, expressionless, lifted his blade without any frills, just swift, accurate.

The blade lights crisscrossed, the silhouettes intersected.

Zhong Lin sheathed his blade, and a red line appeared on Dan Wenlong’s neck, his head rolling away, leaving a headless corpse that ran a few more steps before collapsing heavily.

The rolling head, driven by nerves, made its mouth move up and down as if trying to say something before dying.

"Finally dead."

Zhong Lin sighed in relief quietly, this bastard made him live in fear for months, now finally cut down under his blade.

He quickly searched Dan Wenlong’s body, not looking carefully, grabbed the nearby bundle, and swiftly left, finding another hidden eave to hide.

The bundle contained gold and silver, beautiful jade, jewelry, but unfortunately, it lacked the Blood Coagulation Technique Zhong Lin needed.

"No, waiting on the off chance may be safe, but there’s no sure way to know who has seized the Blood Coagulation Technique. Wealth comes with risks; I must take a gamble."

Zhong Lin’s face was full of seriousness; his purpose for coming here was to find the Lin family’s Blood Coagulation Technique. Having found this opportunity, there was no way he could return empty-handed.

With a thought, just as he was about to leap into the fray, another familiar figure caught his eye.

"A big fish!"

He saw in an ordinary courtyard a group emerged from the sea of fire, with none other than the second young master of the Du family, Du Chong, at the center.

Though Du Chong looked very disheveled now, covered in blood stains, with some of his hair singed by fire, Zhong Lin still recognized him at a glance.

Not just his face, even if his face was covered, Zhong Lin could recognize him; he even knew the location of a few moles on his body.

Thinking of this, Zhong Lin’s face was full of gloom; drawing erotic pictures of Du Chong could be said to be the biggest stain of his life.

The main thing was that Du Chong’s chest was bulging, clearly carrying something.

This second young master of the Du family wouldn’t carry gold and silver treasures when escaping; if unexpected, then it should be...

"Cultivation technique..."

Zhong Lin’s eyes brightened, leaped silently, just as he was about to approach, his actions paused, holding his breath, concentrating.

"Looks like I’m not the only one targeting him!"

Along with the sound of something piercing the air, five more masked people hurried in from several directions, surrounding Du Chong and his companions.

"Damn it, damn it, you filthy commoners," Du Chong gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhong Lin and his group, "All protectors stay behind, Yun Ye, take me away."

"Yes."

The Du family had nurtured retainers for many years, and even in this crisis, some were still willing to fight for them.

Zhong Lin and the other five, though all dressed in black and masked, unknown to one another, made the same decision at this moment, wielding blades to kill directly.

Du Chong is a big fish; he must not be allowed to escape.

They were not those thieves solely seeking gold and jewels; what they truly needed was the Blood Coagulation Technique of the Middle Third Grades, and as the second young master of the Du family, he definitely knew it.
