Chapter 101: The Leader of Black Wind Stronghold

Chapter 101: Black Wind Chieftain

"Is he planning to catch my sword barehanded? How arrogant!" El sneered and put more force into it!

But in an instant, El's face fell. He felt his weapon stop mid-air; no matter how much force he used, it was stuck fast!

With a casual grab, Lin Xing caught the weapon El had swung. With a slight exertion, he held it immobile in the air, unmoving despite El's efforts. Lin Xing, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed.

Seeing this, El flew into a rage. In his eyes, Lin Xing's actions were a sign of disrespect. Instantly, El roared, gripped his weapon with both hands, leaped up, and went for a kick to Lin Xing's face.

Lin Xing released his grip on El's weapon. Simultaneously, his right fist shot out with lightning speed, landing a punch right in El's gut!

"Wham!" El was sent flying back and crashed into the ground, leaving a deep pit.

El flipped over and stood up, coughing a few times and spat out a mouthful of dirt. He eyed Lin Xing warily.

This time, Lin Xing hadn't used his full strength, only a third of his power. Yet, even that was enough to overwhelm El, sending him flying back.

El watched Lin Xing with vigilance, but inwardly, he was shocked. "This guy doesn't seem strong at all, yet he's so powerful. I didn't even see him strike, and I was already sent flying."

Seeing El's stunned expression, Lin Xing smirked. "What? Still want to fight?" That look of contempt was really asking for it.

Although shocked by Lin Xing's strength, El was still riled up by that smug look. With an angry roar, he came at Lin Xing again.

Lin Xing remained standing in place, as if ignoring the sword El swung at him, his hands resting casually behind his back.

Just as El's sword was about to strike Lin Xing, Lin Xing's hand seemed to appear out of nowhere in front of El, once again catching his greatsword!

Feeling his sword caught again, El let out a furious roar. Deep cyan Battle Qi erupted from his entire body as he put everything he had into the slash down at Lin Xing.

But Lin Xing still held El's greatsword effortlessly, and El remained unable to move it an inch. It was like a gnat trying to topple a tree—utterly futile.

El's eyes turned red with fury as he glared at Lin Xing, his face pale with anger.

At that moment, Lin Xing suddenly sensed a sharp, piercing force attacking from behind. "Someone powerful!" Lin Xing immediately released El's greatsword and sidestepped, instantly evading the incoming energy and ending up a short distance away.

He noticed the ambusher was a young man with a pale face, whose pallor resembled that of someone who's been sick for a long time. However, this couldn't hide the piercing glint in his eyes! His gaze shot toward Lin Xing like a sharp arrow!

"A Saint-level Expert! I wonder who he is."

"Third Chief." Upon seeing this person, all the bandits bowed respectfully.

So this was Kerry, the Third Chief of the Black Wind Bandits! It was said he possessed Saint-level strength, was ice-cold and tight-lipped. Seeing him now, it was exactly as described!

Kerry's eyes swept the crowd, glanced at Lin Xing to the side, then looked at El, rooted to the spot. Frowning, he asked coldly, "What's going on?"

"Third Chief, this person said he wanted to meet the three Chiefs," El explained. "We fought, but he was too powerful. I was no match."

Kerry nodded slightly and walked toward Lin Xing. His eyes emitted a cold light. Kerry didn't dare underestimate Lin Xing—being able to easily evade his ambush meant this was no ordinary figure. Although he hadn't intended a killing blow or used full strength, judging by Lin Xing's movements, his strength was likely not below his own, perhaps even superior.

"You want to see us?" Kerry asked coldly.

Lin Xing nodded.

Seeing Lin Xing's indifference, Kerry frowned. "What do you want?"

"To make you my subordinates!" Lin Xing's words were earth-shattering!

When he saw El and the others robbing, Lin Xing suddenly had the idea of taking over the Black Wind Stronghold. He ultimately needed a force entirely under his command. His family had capability, but it wasn't convenient—it would draw too much attention.

But if he subjugated this bandit group, they would become his own force. Then, using this force wouldn't be too conspicuous. Tasks unsuited for the open could be handled by them.

Moreover, Lin Xing had his eyes on the entire Black Mountain Range. If its resources were utilized properly, this force could sweep across the continent!

Of course, the prerequisite was Lin Xing possessing all this. It couldn't be achieved in one step. For now, the goal was to first subdue a bandit group, then gradually and systematically annex the surrounding forces, ultimately unifying the entire Black Wind Mountain.

That was Lin Xing's ultimate goal!

"What? You want us to submit?" Kerry frowned, his expression darkening. His already pale face turned even paler! Instantly, a chilling killing intent emanated from him.

"This person's killing intent is incredibly strong!" Lin Xing thought, slightly startled.

"Then defeat me first!" Kerry said, slowly pulling out his weapon. It was different from the continent's greatswords—shorter and thinner, more akin to swords from Lin Xing's world.

"Draw your weapon!" Kerry remained cold and expressionless.

Even though Lin Xing was powerful, he felt somewhat uncomfortable under Kerry's icy gaze.

"Fine! Then I'll take you down first!" Lin Xing also drew his weapon. Against Kerry, he didn't dare be careless, and this time, he had to succeed without the slightest mistake.

Both took a few steps back, staring at each other, eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit!

Just then, suddenly, "Hold on! Let's talk." Simultaneously, Lin Xing saw two figures rushing down from the mountain.

"First Chief, Second Chief!" Everyone was shocked. Why had all three Chiefs come out today?
