"Slash!"
Lin Fei slashed his blade.
Six streaks of white light flashed—
six saber shadows.
At Great Accomplishment, the Nine Shadow Saber Technique
showed terrifying power.
Its greatest trait was speed-
so fast that every slash produced multiple shadows.
To onlookers, it seemed Lin Fei just swung once,
but actually, he swung six times!
The cloaked man with double hammers couldn't get close to Lin Fei.
His body stiffened and stopped immediately.
"Pfft."
Blood suddenly gushed from his neck, chest, and abdomen—
deep wounds exposing bone.
Thud.
He collapsed motionless on the ground, dead.
The cloaked man was burly and powerful,
wielding giant hammers,
a true expert among the Jiuhuan Mountain bandits.
Yet he couldn't even block one slash from Lin Fei.
"Brother!"
The tattooed man's face changed drastically,
filled with grief and rage.
Taking advantage of Lin Fei fighting the cloaked man,
he nocked an arrow and shot at Lin Fei.
The arrow flew swiftly,
arriving just as Lin Fei struck down the cloaked man.
The arrow was aimed at Lin Fei's face,
too fast to dodge.
But Lin Fei didn't dodge.
His left hand, like lightning,
reached out and caught the arrow.
This arrow was powerful,
but Lin Fei caught it barehanded without shaking.
Not only was his hand quick,
his strength was terrifying.
"Take this!"
Lin Fei coldly looked at the tattooed man,
and threw the arrow back.
"Pfft."
The arrow pierced the tattooed man's throat firmly.
Blood gushed out.
The tattooed man collapsed, convulsing,
and soon died.
Two Body Refinement Level Four experts from Jiuhuan Mountain strongholds
were slain by Lin Fei's single moves.
All the bandits shrank back,
eyes fixed on Lin Fei,
their faces filled with fear.
Lin Fei held his blade,
his gaze sweeping the bandits coldly:
"Anyone else?"
No one spoke.
"Lin Fei, your strength is indeed formidable."
"But even you can't wipe out all Jiuhuan Mountain's strongholds."
"The Lin Family caravan won't pay any tolls."
"All the strongholds here refuse!"
Just as the crowd grew silent and fearful,
a voice came from within.
"Hm?"
Lin Fei looked carefully.
It was a thin bandit, hiding in the crowd, unwilling to come out.
"Yes, I can't wipe out all Jiuhuan Mountain's strongholds."
"But if anyone harms the Lin Family caravan, I will wipe out their stronghold!"
"If you don't believe me, try me."
"Besides, I'm an outer disciple of the Nine Profound Sect,
and I have a good chance to become an inner disciple."
"I can't wipe out all strongholds now,
but that might not be true later!"
Lin Fei's blade still dripped blood.
His words were a threat.
Many bandits' faces darkened.
One Lin Fei was not threatening,
but an outer disciple of the Nine Profound Sect was different.
If he really became an inner disciple,
at least Body Refinement Level Seven,
and gathered allies,
wiping out all Jiuhuan Mountain would be easy.
In the martial world, strength was important,
but background was even more so.
Lin Fei backed by the Nine Profound Sect-
that was a rock-solid support!
"Well said, Lin Fei!
We, the Qingfeng Stronghold, will no longer demand tolls from the Lin Family."
Finally, a stronghold bandit spoke.
Lin Fei had killed two Body Refinement Level Four stronghold chiefs in one move,
proving his strength.
Even a Body Refinement Level Five expert might not be his match.
So whether to fight or not no longer mattered.
Since they couldn't win,
and couldn't wipe out the threat,
and Lin Fei had the Nine Profound Sect backing,
what else could they do but agree?
With the first done, the second followed.
Soon, all the stronghold bandits on Jiuhuan Mountain
agreed to Lin Fei's terms.
From then on, the Lin Family caravans
would not be troubled in Jiuhuan Mountain.
"Good. I hope you keep your word,
or I'll come back up the mountain."
Lin Fei sheathed his blade,
leapt up,
and soon left the stronghold, disappearing from view.
