Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Lin Feng spotted Du Shaofu walking over from within the crowd and immediately pulled Du Shaofu back. "What are you doing here? Your injuries have healed, don't go out."
The surrounding young men and women also looked curiously at Du Shaofu, but their gazes immediately turned anxiously towards the village entrance.
"What's going on?"
Du Shaofu asked Lin Feng, his gaze also turning towards the village entrance.
Outside the village entrance, there were currently over thirty monstrous beast mounts. Their ferocious mouths were roaring, their ferocious eyes glowing. Compared to the few monstrous beasts at the village entrance, they were much taller and more ferocious. Their ferocious auras intimidated the few subdued monstrous beasts inside and outside the village, causing them to prostrate themselves on the ground in fear.
Atop each of these monstrous beast mounts sat a figure clad in full armor. Their auras were powerful, and their ink-black armor glowed brightly. The formless aura that emanated from them caused the entire village to tremble.
"These people are from the Black Cavalry Corps. They want to select youths from our village of suitable age to participate in the Divine Temple's examination. If they find any supreme prodigy among them, they can stay in the Divine Temple." Lin Feng's reply also fell into Du Shaofu's ears.
"Shouldn't this be a good thing?"
Du Shaofu was a little puzzled when he heard this. Looking at the expressions of these villagers, it seemed like they were all hiding, unwilling to go.
"It should have been a good thing, but the Yu family won't let us go. For the past several hundred years, they've always used the excuse of the examination to send people to attack our Lin family disciples along the way. They won't let us reach the Divine Temple at all. Many of our Lin family's young disciples have already met with misfortune, and not a single one has ever returned. Our Lin family is not a weak family to begin with, but now we're down to this village of people. But the Yu family still won't let us go." Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, his gaze furious.
"The Yu Clan …"
Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows. Indeed, the Yu Clan was everywhere. They had actually been dealing with the Lin Clan for hundreds of years. Every once in a while, they would strangle the talented young disciples of the Lin Clan in the cradle. They were determined to wipe out the entire bloodline of the Lin Clan. They were too vicious and merciless. If this continued, the Lin Clan would indeed cease to exist. As time passed, there would be no more outstanding disciples left. In the end, they would all perish in this Ominous Land.
Du Shaofu had seen the Yu Clan's viciousness and knew that they were absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
"Old Lin, the day has arrived. Can the selected people set off now?"
Outside the village, the leader of the Black Cavalry Regiment's group of 30 or so people was riding an exceptionally ferocious demonic beast. The patterns on his armor were deep, and it was clear that he had a higher status. Only his middle-aged face was revealed, and he looked down on the old village chief as he asked this question.
"Sir, the young people in the village are too old, and the young ones are too young. There really aren't any suitable ones." The old village chief looked at the leader in military attire, and was extremely humble.
"Old Lin, do you think I don't know that the grandson you got in your later years has already reached the appropriate age? I have a list of everyone in the Lin Clan Village, and you can't hide from it. I know that you don't have many capable descendants in this small Lin Clan Village. Hand over ten of them and I'll bring them to the Temple for testing. Otherwise, I'll personally go in and find them!"
The leading military officer sneered. His domineering voice was like thunder.
"Sir, the Lin Clan Village really doesn't have that many suitable young people. Please be magnanimous. Whatever conditions you have, as long as it's within this old man's ability, I'll definitely do it." The old village chief begged. He knew all too well that the Yu Clan's influence was too great. It was so great that the Lin Clan Village couldn't avoid it for hundreds of years.
"Hmph, now you know how to beg? If you knew this would happen, why did your Lin Clan's ancestors have to offend the Yu Clan? Hand over ten of your children to the Temple for testing. Otherwise, I'll flatten this small Lin Clan Village today. Choose for yourself!" The military officer berated. The demonic beast he was mounted on was about to pounce, and it roared ferociously.
"Don't go too far!"
The old village chief said in a deep voice. The aura on his body fluctuated. He didn't fear the military officer in front of him, but he knew very well that he couldn't protect the entire village. These dozens of people from the Black Flag Army were enough to flatten the entire village. When the time came, blood would flow everywhere.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you really think your cultivation can stop me? Then I'll thoroughly deal with you today!"
The military officer opened his mouth. Before he finished speaking, his figure directly leapt out from his mount. The aura of the peak of the consummate Martial Emperor Realm erupted in an instant. A palm print, which seemed to carry the shadow of a strange beast, rushed out, and directly slapped towards the old village chief.
The old village chief's expression changed. At this moment, his white beard trembled. The sole of his foot stamped on the ground, and his fist shone brightly. Symbols interweaved, and an ancient aura collided with the palm print!
"Bang!"
The muffled sound of energy instantly rang out. The ground trembled and cracked, and the impact of the energy caused sand and stones to fly in all directions.
"Deng deng …"
The two figures were forced back at the same time. They both rubbed against the ground for several zhang before stabilizing their bodies. It was as if neither of them had gained the upper hand.
"Village chief!"
In the village, many villagers surrounded them. Some of the able-bodied men were already unable to restrain their anger. Their auras surged, and they wanted to fight to the death.
"Aowu …"
The auras of the thirty or so people from the Black Flag Army also surged. Almost all of them had the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm. Demonic beasts roared, and their auras were vast. It resounded through the mountain forest and shook the void!
In an instant, both sides were on the verge of breaking out. It seemed like a great battle was about to begin.
The military officer stopped. After stabilizing his body, he looked at the old village chief. His expression seemed to be rather astonished. His voice was much gloomier as he said, "Fine, I'll flatten this place today. In the future, I won't have to trouble you anymore!"
"Kill!"
When these words came out from the military officer's mouth, his figure rushed out in an instant. His aura was even more vigorous. Mysterious symbols interweaved, and he was as fast as lightning. A bright light burst out from his finger, and his power was like thunder. Like lightning, he instantly arrived in front of the old village chief.
"Flatten the Lin Family Village!"
"Kill!"
"Aowu!"
At the same time, the Black Flag Army shouted loudly. Waves of powerful auras exploded. Demonic beasts raised their hooves and galloped forward. Their cries were deafening. The beasts' roars were like thunder.
"Swish …"
The lightning-fast guide was filled with murderous intent and terrifying power. It distorted the void and instantly reached the old village chief's throat.
"Protect the old, the weak, the women, and the children. Leave!"
The old village chief's expression changed. As he retreated in a straight line, he shouted. He knew that with his cultivation level and strength, there was no way he could stop the Black Flag Army. The disciples of the Lin Family Village were no match for them. Rivers of blood would flow.
Just as the old village chief retreated and was about to block them, a figure appeared like a ghost. He stretched out his hand and blocked the ferocious guide. At the same time, a shout was heard.
"Scram!"
This shout was only one word, but for some reason, it was like thunder. It caused the void to rumble and an invisible wave of space quietly spread out.
Such a shout was nothing to the villagers of the Lin Family Village. However, to the Black Flag Army and their demonic beast mounts, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. Their soul and beast souls trembled. Their bodies trembled and went limp. The demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground. The figures fell from the backs of the demonic beasts. Whether it was the demonic beast mounts or the Black Flag Army, they all vomited blood. Their eyes were filled with fear.
The sudden change of events caused the villagers of the Lin Family Village to think that it would be a battle to the death. They were even prepared to fight to the death. However, what happened in front of them left them dumbfounded. Their eyes naturally gathered on the figure that suddenly appeared.
"It's him!"
Some of the villagers of the Lin Family Village exclaimed. The figure that suddenly appeared was actually the injured young man from last night.
The old village chief was also shocked. He had guessed that the mysterious young man was not simple. However, he did not expect the young man to be so strong.
At this moment, the person who was most shocked was the officer of the Black Cavalry Regiment. His finger was like a swamp in front of the young man's palm that had suddenly appeared. No matter how much strength he used, it was useless. The palm was calmly placed in front of him, but it made him feel as if he was being suppressed by a hundred thousand mountains. He was powerless to resist. The profound energy in his body was also blocked, and his heart felt as if it was about to explode from the pressure.
"Boy, we are from the Black Flag Army. We are here to carry out our official duties. Do you dare to stop us?" The officer spoke. He was from the Black Flag Army. Who would dare to provoke the Black Flag Army?
"How dare you threaten me. You're courting death!"
Du Shaofu spoke. As his voice faded, golden light gushed out from the center of his palm, and an incomparably domineering force suddenly swept out.
"Bang!"
The officer's body exploded and turned into a mist of blood.
The surroundings fell into a strange silence. Even the demonic beasts kept quiet out of fear.
"Huff, huff …"
After a while, the people around them secretly gasped. Their eyes were filled with shock. They were extremely shocked.
"Everyone, wait for me. If anyone dares to leave, your head will be the end. I will follow you to the Divine Temple later!"
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the 30 men from the Black Flag Army who were lying limp and vomiting blood. He then turned to the old village chief and said, "Village chief, can we talk in the village?"
"Okay, okay, please come in!"
The old village chief had already regained his senses. However, the shock in his eyes did not fade.
Du Shaofu and the Old Village Chief returned to the village amidst the dumbfounded gazes of the numerous villagers. The dozens of people from the Black Cavalry Regiment looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They couldn't help but tremble and didn't dare to leave.
Their leader was at the peak of the Complete Martial Royal Realm and was about to step into the Martial Honorable Realm. However, he was easily killed by the young man. With such strength, they could not escape.
"Sir, thank you for saving us. I thank you on behalf of the Lin Family Village."
After a while, the old village chief bowed in the hall. He knew that the young man in front of him was much more powerful than he had imagined.
"Thank you, sir."
In the hall, there were a few old men and middle-aged men. Lin Feng and a few other young men and women bowed respectfully.
