Chapter 228 Drawing a Sword to Help

More and more onlookers and cultivators gathered on the bustling street. But when they learned that Lin Xun was standing up for a woman who had cheated, many people became flushed with anger.

Unfortunately for Lin Xun, the rescued woman was so worked up that she had fainted on the ground and couldn’t help defend Lin Xun.

However, Lin Xun didn’t care. He just looked at the brawny man kneeling on the ground who was screaming tragically to gain the onlookers’ sympathy. His eyes were sharp as blades.

“I’ll give you one chance to state your name, background, origin and your purpose of kidnapping the woman,” Lin Xun said calmly.

The brawny man roared in anger, “Everyone, this kid is not only a bully but he is trying to slander me. What does he mean by kidnap? I’m just teaching my daughter-in-law a lesson.”

Someone couldn’t help but say to Lin Xun, “Young man, that’s enough. Don’t make another mistake. There are so many people present. You will face the wrath of the public if you continue your mistake.”

Kacha—

Lin Xun completely ignored him. He lifted his foot and pressed it into the brawny man’s right hand. Blood seeped out amidst the sound of bones breaking.

The brawny man screamed in agony, but, wanting to maintain his dignity, he roared, “Boy, kill me if you dare!”

Many onlookers became angry when they saw the bloody scene. They felt that Lin Xun had gone too far.

A cultivator stood forward and said righteously, “Boy, you dare wound someone in broad daylight? I am going to teach you a lesson today.” He immediately won a lot of applause.

Qi Yunxiao, who was hiding among the crowd, couldn’t help smiling. Lin Xun, Lin Xun, let’s see how you clean up this mess now.

Kacha—

Lin Xun completely disregarded the cultivator. He slightly lifted his foot and crushed the brawny man’s other hand with it. The man whimpered in pain, his eyes rolled back into his head, and he lost consciousness.

“You want to die!”

The cultivator was infuriated that Lin Xun ignored him. He stepped forward and aimed a palm strike at Lin Xun.

The blast of wind around his hand was chilling as the palm slammed through the air. He clearly had used all his strength.

However, Lin Xun just made a grabbing motion in the air and clutched the opponent’s wrist. With a violent shake of his hand, the cultivator quivered rapidly like a sieve and all bones in his body shattered. He thudded into the ground like a dead fish, screaming in agony.

One attack had suppressed a cultivator.

The ordinary people repeatedly drew back in fear. They had never thought that the youngster would be so powerful and fierce.

Some cultivators couldn’t help but narrow their eyes while shuddering inwardly. The attack seems simple but it was filled with all sorts of murderous intent. Only remarkable cultivators can pull out such an attack.

That youngster isn’t ordinary.

Everyone froze for a moment. Qi Yunxiao, who was hiding in the crowd, cursed in his mind. What a bunch of trash! You are frightened by that little attack.

Qi Yunxiao also knew that most of the onlookers were ordinary people or inexperienced cultivators. They only gathered to watch the scene. It was impossible to expect them to join hands to deal with Lin Xun.

It was just that Qi Yunxiao felt extremely uncomfortable to see Lin Xun scaring off everyone with just one little attack.

He came to see Lin Xun make a fool out of himself and not to see how he showed off.

Lin Xun aimed another kick at the brawny man. The man jolted up like he was electrocuted.

When he saw Lin Xun standing in front of him, his face contorted with anger, and just as he was about to scream out again, he saw Lin Xun crouched down with a sharp blade in his grip. Lin Xun pressed the blade against his throat.

The brawny man blanched with terror, and fear flooded his eyes. “What—what—what are you doing? Are you going to kill me?”

As he was speaking, he glanced around as if asking for help. But although everyone looked disturbed, no one was willing to step forward to help.

The brawny man’s face paled even more and when he saw a cultivator lying on the ground beside him. He felt he was about to collapse.

“I’ve given you the chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I won’t just simply break your arms.” Lin Xun said with a smile. As the blade glinted in his hand, it flashed across the air and slashed off the man’s ear in one swift and clean motion. Blood spewed everywhere.

The brawny man screamed in pain. “I’ll tell the truth! I’ll tell the truth!”

At that moment, the handsome young man before him was like a devil. An unprecedented fear gripped him.

The brawny man endured the pain and said, “My name is Hu Debiao and I am from Chengnan.”

“State the important point—why do you want to kidnap this woman?” Lin Xun uttered coldly.

Hu Debiao continued in a trembling voice, “For a transaction. A good-looking woman is worth a lot of money.”

Before he finished, an uproar broke out from the crowd. Their gazes changed from sympathy to anger, puzzlement, scorn and contempt.

“So, she is not your daughter-in-law,” said Lin Xun.

Hu Debiao had completely lost the strength to fight back. “No.”

Everyone fumed with rage. But it wasn’t because Hu Debiao was a human trafficker. It was because a human trafficker had deceived them. They felt embarrassed from the shame.

When Lin Xun saw this, he got up and said to the people around him, “Everyone, this is the scum you tried to protect. Now, are you satisfied?”

Many people flushed red with embarrassment.

Someone muttered, “Who could have known that he is a human trafficker? If we had known this earlier, we would have killed him together.”

Lin Xun shot a cold look at the person. “Didn’t you hear that woman’s cry for help just now?”

The man retorted, “In today’s world, who would be so stupid to save someone when they hear a cry for help? Only in stories would someone draw a sword to stand up to injustice.”

Lin Xun snorted. An indescribable hatred and anger surged in his heart. When did it become a stupid thing to stand up to injustice?

He pointed to Hu Debiao on the ground. “Right, so when traffickers use the same method like he did to kidnap your daughters, daughters-in-law, relatives and friends, let’s see who in this world will help you.”

Many people’s expressions visibly changed. Indeed, an innocent woman’s life was saved because of Lin Xun. If the same thing had happened to them, what would they do?

Lin Xun couldn’t be bothered to say anything else to them. He glanced at the cultivator collapsed on the ground beside Hu Debiao. “If my guess is right, it was you who urged others to fight against me. I believe you two are working together.”

The cultivator and Hu Debiao turned ashen-faced.

“Tell me, who sent you?” Lin Xun asked bluntly. He had come into contact with many underground gangs when he was in Donglin City, so he knew that it was impossible for human traffickers to act alone. There had to be a major force behind them.

“We—”

The second that Hu Debiao opened his mouth, the cultivator shouted, “Don’t say it!”

Seeing this, Lin Xun didn’t want to waste any time. He slashed the cultivator’s neck with his blade, splattering blood onto Hu Debiao’s face. Hu Debiao was so frightened that he wet his pants

“Say it.” Lin Xun shifted his cold gaze onto him.

“We are from the Black Python Gang,” Hu Debiao quickly answered. He didn’t dare to hesitate in the slightest.

Black Python Gang.

Many people’s faces blanched. The Black Python Gang was the most notorious gang in Haze City and was known to kidnap women.

Immediately, many people started to rage, urging Lin Xun to kill Hu Debiao.

Lin Xun felt a little better. At least these people still have a conscience.

Qi Yunxiao, who was hiding in the crowd, looked incredibly disappointed. With a gloomy face, he turned around and was about to leave.

However, his vision suddenly blurred and he looked up to see Lin Xun blocking his path. With a smile, Lin Xun grabbed Qi Yunxiao’s arm and dragged him to the center of the crowd.

Qi Yunxiao’s expression dramatically changed. He attempted to struggle free.

However, Lin Xun said to the onlookers, “Everyone, it's very easy to kill Hu Debiao, but the same thing will still happen everyday if we don’t eliminate the Black Python Gang. The First Young Master of Jadelight pavilion, Qi Yunxiao, has agreed to help everyone get rid of the evil Black Python Gang.”

Qi Yunxiao fumed. When did I agree to this matter?

Before he could speak, Lin Xun’s voice rang in his ears, “If you don’t cooperate with me, don't blame me for standing in front of your Jadelight Pavilion every day and beating up every single person from your Qi Family that I see. Let’s see what you can do to me then.”

Qi Yunxiao trembled, his eyes almost split apart from anger. This guy dares to blackmail me?! He has gone too far!

But unfortunately for him, he couldn’t say anything because, as Lin Xun had said, no one in the Jadelight Pavilion dared to touch Lin Xun because of the Black Glory note.

The most infuriating thing for him was that they didn’t know if they should fight back or not if Lin Xun went up to bully people of the Jadelight Pavilion.

Just when Qi Yunxiao was conflicted on what to do, cheers erupted from the crowd. They all applauded the young master of the Jadelight Pavilion for his courage and proclaimed him a hero.

Lin Xun smiled. “Everyone is right. Since the Jadelight Pavilion has come forward, even ten Black Python Gangs will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. Everyone must remember Young Master Qi Yunxiao for his kindness. It’s really rare to see a young hero have the courage to fight against the evil forces.”

Immediately, applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Qi Yunxiao was completely dumbstruck. He had no choice but to agree in front of everyone.

He really regretted coming over there to watch. If he had known that would happen, he would have hid as far as he could.

But it was too late to take back his actions. Lin Xun was clearly determined to make him suffer. If he dared not to agree, given Lin Xun’s fierce and ruthless personality, he no doubt would block the Jadelight Pavilion’s entrance and cause trouble there.

Being used in such a way, Qi Yunxiao felt so indignant that he wanted to weep and even cut his throat and kill himself.
