Seven AM!
The Black Tiger Hall arrived.
The leader was nicknamed Bao Wu, the top subordinate of the Hall Master Bao Ye. He possessed a Martial King level combat power and was a veteran of numerous battles, considered quite a formidable expert.
“Young Master Lin, we’ve arrived as scheduled with five hundred men to ensure your Lin family wins this battle.”
Bao Wu said loudly with a smile.
“Fifth Brother, thank you, thank you, I’ve heard so much about you. With your five hundred men, our Lin family will have a total of eight hundred, giving us a fighting chance.”
Lin Feng replied with very flattering courtesy.
In principle, commercial families like the Lin family rarely associated with mercenary groups like the Black Tiger Hall; in fact, the Lin family somewhat disdained such people.
But things were different now.
With no other options, Lin Qingzhu had to spend money to protect the Lin family. Since the Black Tiger Hall had come, the Lin family members had to be polite, as they were counting on them to fight.
“Young Master Lin, rest assured, the Niu and Ma families are nothing to fear. With me, Bao Wu, here, they won’t be able to enter this gate. None of my brothers fear death.”
“Thank you, thank you very much!”
After seeing them off, Lin Feng left.
Bao Wu immediately dropped his smile and gathered the minor leaders around him. He conspiratorially instructed them, “Just hold your positions. No one is to engage without my command.”
“Understood!”
The minor leaders understood perfectly.
Thus, the Lin family began to tense up. The five hundred men from the Black Tiger Hall were arranged in the Lin family’s main courtyard, creating a noisy buzz as they gathered in groups chatting.
The Lin family’s own hired thugs and bodyguards, along with the helpers invited by individual family members, totaling over three hundred people, were positioned as the main force outside the Lin family villa’s main gate.
From the Lin family’s perspective.
Outside the gate was a large square, a long street, and not a single car in sight. This was because all private vehicles, upon hearing the news, dared not venture out or park.
Ten AM.
The ground began to tremble.
“Holy crap, they’re here!”
“This battle is unavoidable!”
“Brothers of the Lin family, gather around.”
“Quick, quick…”
The Lin family’s area instantly became chaotic and tense.
Looking towards the street, two rows of dark vehicles approached. The front consisted of SUVs, followed by extended vans. They stopped about fifty to sixty meters from the Lin family, with the vehicles lining both sides of the road.
A series of loud door-opening sounds echoed.
The two rows of vehicles began to disembark their men.
It didn’t appear chaotic, nor were there any frantic shouts. The Niu and Ma families, being half legitimate and half underworld, had their hired thugs who were familiar with such operations and quickly assembled in an orderly fashion.
“How many people are there?”
“Mother of God, probably over a thousand!”
“Don’t panic, we’re defending.”
“This battle won’t be easy.”
The area outside the Lin family’s gate grew even more panicked.
Even though the Lin family’s own people were at the front, seeing the endless lines of the Niu and Ma families, even these so-called main forces felt their palms beginning to sweat.
Meanwhile, the people in the courtyard remained calm. The five hundred men from the Black Tiger Hall were lounging around, observing as if watching a show.
“No one panic, stay steady.”
“Damn it, get your weapons ready.”
Lin Feng and Lin Bin, the brothers, were at the very front of the formation.
Lin Feng had considerable combat power and a relatively calm demeanor. Fighting for the survival of his family, he wasn’t nervous; any trembling was due to intense excitement.
In contrast, Lin Bin, the young master, shouted defiantly but his legs were trembling. This young man was a spoiled brat. He could fight well, but his temperament was much weaker.
A series of frenzied footsteps sounded.
The dark formations of the Niu and Ma families, as they walked, began to run. Red silk was tied to their arms, and each person held a large saber. They didn’t shout, but their presence was awe-inspiring!
“Move faster, assemble on the square.”
“Tie the sabers to your hands, hold them steady.”
The two leading generals shouted loudly.
One was named Niu Wu, the other Ma Tie. They were not direct descendants of the Niu or Ma families but were trusted thug leaders raised from childhood, specifically responsible for leading and carrying out dirty work for the Niu and Ma families.
The square was soon filled with people.
Over a thousand people, radiating killing intent!
The two sides faced each other, twenty meters apart, all shaking their sabers. The scene became so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Everyone knew that once the fighting started, people would die.
Niu Wu and Ma Tie advanced with their sabers.
Lin Feng and Lin Bin walked forward to meet them.
A great battle was about to erupt, but a conversation was necessary before the fight. This was not an insurmountable issue; the Niu and Ma families had conditions, and the Lin family could concede.
“Lin Feng, I’m not bragging, but your Lin family is truly outmatched. However, my boss doesn’t want to exterminate you. Hand over Zhuye Qing and Ye Zi Xiao, and this battle can be avoided.”
Niu Wu said arrogantly, head held high.
“I don’t understand what you mean,”
Lin Feng said, gritting his teeth, his eyes cold.
“Damn it, it’s simple. Ye Zi Xiao must die. Zhuye Qing can live. She’s the most beautiful woman in Beihai, and all the men in our Niu and Ma families want a taste.”
“Hahaha, do you understand now?”
Niu Wu and Ma Tie took two more steps forward.
Their words were shameless, but they were very clear. They wanted to take Lin Qingzhu back to insult her. This was not a negotiation; this was provocation!
“You rotten cow and horse, f*ck your mother!”
“Damn it, kill them all!”
Lin Feng and Lin Bin, the brothers, immediately gave the order.
They were not acting out of impulsive anger. The situation had reached this point; this bloody fight was unavoidable. Although they were outnumbered, they could not lose in terms of morale.
To strike first.
Showed greater resolve.
“Charge!”
“The Lin family is not to be bullied.”
“F*ck your mother, cut them down.”
“Go get ‘em!”
The three hundred main forces of the Lin family exploded. They raised their sabers and charged forward with Lin Feng and Lin Bin, yelling fiercely, cursing, like a pack of hungry wolves!
“Go, cripple them.”
“Damn it, charge for me.”
Niu Wu and Ma Tie were not particularly agitated. They simply gave normal orders to attack because they had great confidence in their team, not to mention the greater power supporting them from behind.
Shouts of killing and charging filled the air!
Cursing was intense…
The thousand-plus men of the Niu and Ma families, and the three hundred main forces of the Lin family, using the most primitive method with cold weapons, engaged in a frenzied struggle on the square in this affluent district!
The clash began!
The men in the front desperately swung their sabers, either hacking or stabbing. Every strike would erupt with a spurt of blood, or perhaps a living person would fall with a scream.
The men behind shouted and jostled.
Chaotic, bloody, and terrifying!
Blood soon flowed like a river…
This was a high-martial continent where martial artists fought every moment. This was unavoidable in this savage world and was tacitly permitted by the government and military.
However, for Beihai City, family blood feuds of this scale were rare. No one would resist with all their might, knowing they were outmatched, like the Lin family!
In one-on-one combat, it depended on rank.
In group brawls, it depended on luck and courage.
Take the large-scale brawl happening now for example. At the beginning, the Lin family held the advantage. After all, these three hundred main forces were trusted confidantes, and none of them wanted to see the Lin family defeated.
“F*ck your mother, I’ll kill you!”
“My arm is broken, save me!”
“Don’t be cowards, fight to the death!”
“...!”
Heart-wrenching screams came from within the Lin family ranks.
Lin Feng and Lin Bin were already covered in blood. Lin Feng had sustained several stab wounds but remained at the very front. Lin Bin scurried around like a nimble monkey, not retreating, but also not getting seriously injured.
In this first round.
The three hundred men of the Lin family actually gained the upper hand!
In contrast, the Niu and Ma families.
Over a thousand men were being pushed back by the sabers!
