The other Xie members quickly pulled her back, staring at Lin Xia in fear.
"Sister Lin Xia!"
The Lin family's members rallied behind her, their morale soaring.
Lin Hong, however, looked complicated. He had reached level seven around the same time as Lin Xia ... but now, she was far ahead. The gap between them was like a slap in his own face.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Lin Xia smiled slightly.
So this is what it feels like to hide your strength and reveal it at the perfect moment. No wonder those two always do this ... it feels amazing!
Suddenly, a calm, cold voice cut through the tense atmosphere.
Another young woman appeared, wearing a fox-fur coat.
She looked elegant and refined, much gentler than Xie Ting, but her presence carried authority.
"Sister!" Xie Ting cried, running to her. "You must avenge me! I want to ruin her face like she ruined mine!"
The Lin family's expressions darkened.
"Xie Yingying…" they muttered.
She was the most talented of the Xie juniors .... and like Lin Xia, she was already Body Refining Stage level eight.
Xie Yingying's eyes went icy as she saw her sister's swollen face.
"Don't worry," she said coldly. "Your sister will get justice."
The air grew heavy as the two sides prepared for an even bigger battle.
Xie Yingying's sudden appearance caused a wave of unease among the Lin family members.
Even Lin Xia's expression grew tense and serious.
A few months ago, Xie Yingying had already reached the Eighth Level of Body Tempering.
Even if she hadn't stepped into the Ninth Level yet, she would be extremely close.
With Lin Xia's current strength, she was no match for her.
"Brother Lin Xuan, let's hurry over there! If we wait any longer, Lin Xia will definitely be bullied by that woman!"
Qing Tan said anxiously, her small face filled with worry.
Earlier, Lin Xia had beaten Xie Ting so badly that the latter was still clutching her swollen face.
Now that Xie Yingying had appeared, she would never show mercy.
If she slapped Lin Xia several times in front of everyone, Lin Xia would lose all dignity and have no face left to see others.
"Alright, let's go."
Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes sharp as he quickly formed a mission in his mind.
[Mission: Teach Xie Yingying a lesson.]
[Reward: One bottle of Grade Four Qi Pills.]
Xie Yingying's beautiful eyes glimmered coldly as she stepped forward, her aura surging.
"It's only been a few years, and already your Lin family has forgotten who controls Qingyang Town.
Since you dared to hit someone from my Xie family, you must be prepared to pay the price!"
Boom!
Her Qi burst forth, dense and sharp. Her slender jade-like hand turned into a claw, filled with condensed power far stronger than what Lin Xia had just displayed.
Even worse, her attack was vicious and sinister...she aimed directly at Lin Xia's chest!
This wasn't just a simple strike; Xie Yingying clearly wanted to publicly humiliate Lin Xia, ruining her reputation in front of everyone.
"So ruthless!"
Some spectators gasped, sensing her malicious intent.
Lin Xia's expression turned panicked as she desperately retreated.
Her speed was fast, but to her shock, Xie Yingying's speed matched hers perfectly, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
Just when the claw was about to strike
A tall, steady figure appeared like a gust of wind, placing himself firmly in front of Lin Xia.
Bang!
Lin Xuan raised one hand to block Xie Yingying's claw, while his other palm struck forward like a lightning bolt.
Caught completely off guard, Xie Yingying couldn't react in time.
Bam!
The blow landed squarely on her chest.
She staggered backward, her feet scraping against the ground, sliding more than ten steps before finally crashing into the arms of several Xie family members, barely keeping herself upright.
"You… shameless!"
Xie Yingying screamed, clutching her chest in pain, her eyes blazing with fury and humiliation.
Lin Xuan had sneak-attacked her!
The crowd erupted instantly.
"Whoa!"
"Did he really just do that?!"
"That move… I wouldn't mind trying it myself!"
"Isn't she one of the top beauties of Qingyang Town? That guy is insane!"
Many men in the crowd exchanged knowing looks, their eyes glowing with envy and excitement.
Some even rubbed their hands unconsciously, imagining what it felt like.
After all, Xie Yingying wasn't just any woman...she was one of the most renowned beauties in town, a proud young lady of noble status.
On top of that, she was already engaged to none other than Lei Li, the number-one young master of the Lei family.
And now, right in public, someone had dared to strike her chest with such a forceful palm.
Just thinking about it was thrilling and outrageous!
Lin Xuan, meanwhile, casually shook his hand, rotating his wrist a little as he muttered under his breath.
Her chest had such strong elasticity that even his hand was slightly sore.
He didn't seem embarrassed in the slightest.
The surrounding men stared at him with admiration, whispering among themselves.
The more they talked, the darker and more ugly the expressions of the Xie family members became.
Xie Yingying, noticing the hungry gazes from all around, felt her face burn red hot.
If there had been a crack in the ground, she would have crawled inside to hide.
She gritted her teeth, forcibly lowering her hands and pretending nothing was wrong, despite the pain still throbbing in her chest.
Shameless? Hah!"
Lin Xuan's voice was calm and cold as he said,
"I simply returned the favor using your own methods."
If Xie Yingying's attack had succeeded, Lin Xia's clothes might have been torn apart, leaving her in utter humiliation.
Lin Xuan merely flipped the situation back onto her.
"Despicable scum!"
A furious roar suddenly boomed through the air.
A tall, muscular figure shot out from the second floor of a building across the street, landing heavily on the ground.
"Lei Li!"
"It's Lei Li! He was watching from over there!"
"Hahaha, imagine standing by while your fiancée gets humiliated. Any man would explode!"
The crowd's excitement reached a new peak.
Everyone's attention turned to the newcomer.
