"Ling-ge'er, it really is you! Something terrible has happened! Hu-zi has been beaten up!"

Zhou Ling and Xin'er were looking for a place to eat on the street when they suddenly heard someone calling him.

Zhou Ling looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman in a patterned cloth dress hurrying over from around the corner.

It turned out she was Xu Jiu's wife, the neighbor.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Because there were many people on the street and it was quite noisy, Zhou Ling couldn't hear what the other person was saying for a moment.
"Ling-ge'er, come quick, Hu-zi's been beaten up!"

"Old Xu was protecting them over there, but the other side had too many people and he was no match for them. He hurriedly told me to go home and find someone!"

Aunt Xu said breathlessly, her face filled with panic.

"Auntie, where are you?"

Now that Zhou Ling had heard clearly, he hurriedly asked.

"It's just around the corner. Go back and tell your parents that I'll go over and see if I can help!"

Aunt Xu said anxiously.

"Auntie, no rush. You and Xin'er stay here. I'll go check on things first!"

Zhou Ling said to Aunt Xu.

"Xin'er, wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look!"

Zhou Ling then spoke to Wang Xin.

Without waiting for Wang Xin's reply, he hurriedly walked towards the street ahead.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the scene before me and I was furious.

Five teenagers surrounded Yuan Hu and Xu Jiu and started hitting them.

Xu Jiu was surrounded by three teenagers and had to retreat continuously, barely able to defend himself.

Yuan Hu was completely powerless to resist and had already been beaten black and blue by the two teenagers.

Not far away stood a young man in fine clothes, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. He waved an elegant jade fan in his hand and had an arrogant expression. "Beat him to death!"

"stop!"

Zhou Ling roared.

At the same time, he quickly used his lightness technique to charge towards the two boys who had attacked Yuan Hu.

Although I don't know what happened, the other side had five people fighting against two, and they all seemed to be quite powerful.

Especially considering how ruthless they were!
He naturally wouldn't hesitate.

"Roar!"

The Lion's Roar talent was instantly activated, and everyone present immediately felt a deafening sound.

It was as if a giant beast had suddenly descended.

Everyone was stunned and paused for a moment.

The moment the two boys who were beating Yuan Hu stopped, they felt a sudden, tremendous force strike them.

"what!"

"what!"

Then, screams of agony followed one after another.

The two figures were blasted away.

It was accompanied by a clicking sound!

It then crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Then came the wailing.

In a fit of anger, Zhou Ling unleashed the Great Yang Fist, a powerful and heavy attack.

Even though these two teenagers were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

However, caught off guard by the Lion's Roar, they all took a punch.

If Zhou Ling hadn't not intended to kill them...

He's probably already dead by now.

After all, with Zhou Ling's current cultivation level of mid-stage Body Refinement, plus the Great Perfection of the Great Yang Fist, the power of this punch is no weaker than the spell of a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator.

[You let out a roar, Lion's Roar +1]

Before anyone could react, Xu Jiu and Yuan Hu rushed to Zhou Ling's side.

"Ling-ge'er, you're here. Where are your father and the others?"

Xu Jiu glanced around and hurriedly asked.

He didn't have any serious injuries, but he was quite exhausted. His face was slightly pale.

Yuan Hu had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was gritting his teeth, unable to speak from the pain.

Seeing Zhou Ling send two teenagers flying with a single punch, the others were also filled with fear and dared not step forward easily.

"Hey kid, who are you to meddle in other people's business!"

Beside him, the richly dressed youth stared at Zhou Ling, a cold glint in his eyes, and shouted angrily.

"Uncle Xu, my father and the others didn't come. I can handle these people on my own!"

Zhou Ling glanced at the young man in fine clothes and the others, and said in a deep voice.

Having frequently practiced killing monsters in the [Illusion Simulation], a sense of intimidation arose within him amidst his anger.

Coupled with the intimidating effect of the Lion's Roar sound wave, the other youths felt a chill run down their spines as if they were being stared at by a demonic beast.

The elegantly dressed youth was at the seventh level of Qi Refining and wore a first-grade high-quality robe. He originally didn't take Zhou Ling seriously.

But when Zhou Ling glanced at him, he involuntarily took a step back.

But he quickly realized that this was very embarrassing, that he had been intimidated by a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. He was furious and shouted at the three teenagers, "Attack! He's just a mid-stage Qi Refining guy!"

"As long as you cripple him, I will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

The three looked at each other in dismay. Seeing the two struggling and screaming boys on the ground, they were too frightened to provoke Zhou Ling for a moment.

"waste!"

The richly dressed young man, somewhat embarrassed and angry, shouted.

Zhou Ling's eyes flickered as he stared at the richly dressed young man, then asked Yuan Hu, "Hu Zi, what's going on?"

"Cough cough!"

Yuan Hu coughed violently twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood. With Zhou Ling's arrival, he was no longer afraid, staring at the young man through gritted teeth.

"Brother Ling, this man is Li Yinfeng, the eldest son of the Li family."

“The Li family owns a winery, and they were the ones who supplied the spirit wine that used to be served at the Four Seasons Pavilion.”

"I ran into them today when I was delivering spirit wine to the Four Seasons Pavilion."

"They deliberately bumped into me on the way, and then started punching and kicking me!"

"Luckily Uncle Xu ran into us, otherwise..."

Yuan Hu coughed a few more times before he could finish speaking.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned, having roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

I never expected it would be because of the Four Seasons Pavilion Spirit Wine.

But upon closer reflection, the matter becomes perfectly clear.

No one wants to give up a profit of more than ten spirit stones a day so easily.

It's my own fault for oversimplifying things!

"Tiger, are you badly hurt?"

Zhou Ling asked again in a deep voice.

"I can't die!"

Yuan Hu said with considerable bravado.

At this moment, a burly middle-aged cultivator arrived, his triangular eyes sweeping over Zhou Ling and the other two with a gloomy expression.

"Third Uncle! You've come at the right time. These people are bullying your nephew."

"They even injured two of my nephew's friends!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Yinfeng's face immediately lit up with joy, and he followed the middle-aged man's loud greeting.

The middle-aged man looked at the two teenagers who were curled up on the ground, occasionally letting out painful screams.

He frowned, bent down to check the injuries of the two men, and then took out two pills and put them into their mouths.

He then stood up, his eyes flashing with a cold light, staring at Zhou Ling and the other two, and said in a chilling tone, "Who did this? Step forward!"

"Li Laosan, who are you trying to scare!"

Xu Jiu took a step forward, staring at the middle-aged man without showing any fear.

Their medicine-finding team was able to survive in the Black Cloud Mountain area because of their unity.

Although he is not as strong as his opponent now, he will not stand by and watch Zhou Ling be bullied.

"I hit him, what do you want!"

Zhou Ling naturally wouldn't back down.

They were in the right, so naturally he wasn't afraid.
