High-level martial arts: Start with a grueling grind for the Golden Bell Shield.

As soon as Fan Li landed, he saw Lu Lin rushing towards him.

He was greatly alarmed.

He hurriedly raised his knife to block in front of him.

clang.

Fan Li flew out, smashing into the wooden door and frame, then slid along before crashing into two chairs before finally stopping.

"Lu Lin, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'?!"

"Again!"

Lu Lin charged forward with the ferocity of a tiger.

Fan Li lifted the wooden table behind him and smashed it towards Lu Lin.

boom.

Wood chips flew everywhere.

Lu Lin was already close by, and Fan Li didn't have time to raise his knife.

puff.

The pointed, curved fire hook pierced Fan Li's shoulder, which Lu Lin quickly pulled out.

He remained calm.

One must not kill in full view of others.

Moreover, Fan Li has some connection with Chen Dingkun.

Lu Lin was not alone; he also had Shi Tou.

With a quick thought, Lu Lin stabbed Fan Li in the shoulder again.

"You deserve to die... ah!"

The fire hook pierced into Fan Li's thigh.

"Master, what's going on? Why is there such a commotion in the front hall..."

Suddenly, Madam Zheng ran out, and Lu Lin looked up at her.

The two looked at each other.

Lu Lin's silent, merciless gaze was like a raging flood; Madam Zheng trembled and nearly fell.

"Lu Lin, stop!"

Chen Hongzhi, struggling to his feet, staggered over.

He grabbed Lu Lin's shoulder with a light touch, but Lu Lin stopped moving in response.

Fan Li was raised in a temple from a young age. He was adept at manipulating people's hearts and plotting schemes. Although he had the strength of the peak of Bone Refinement, he rarely fought with others.

Never before had I seen such a formidable opponent as Lu Lin.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

"Oh dear, oh dear, what should we do?"

After a long while, Chen Dingkun, whose expression shifted between light and dark, exclaimed in surprise. He strode over to Fan Li and roared, "Quick, get a doctor!"

"Master Fanli, are you... are you alright?"

Fan Li didn't lose much blood, but the current situation made him want to faint.

With difficulty, he managed to open his mouth and reply, "Layman Chen, I... I can still be saved."

"Who dares to harm my Buddha? Prepare to die!"

Just then, a group of burly men rushed into the Chen residence.

He had dragon and phoenix tattoos all over his body, his back was bare even in the sweltering heat, and he held a sword in his hand, looking fierce and menacing.

The burly man at the head of the group was bald. He looked around and saw Fan Li lying in a pool of blood. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Buddha, who hurt you?"

Before Fan Li could speak, Lu Lin, five steps away, slowly said, "It's me."

"You little brat, you're asking for it! Brothers, get him! Take down this arrogant brat and avenge Buddha!"

The bald, burly man turned and lunged at Lu Lin.

To deal with someone like that, Lu Lin didn't even bother using the fire hook. He parried the opponent's slash and then kicked the bald man hard in the chest.

"ah--"

The bald man screamed and flew backward, smashing three, four, five or six flowerpots.

At this moment, the bald man's men also arrived one after another.

Lu Lin countered each move with a counter-move; if he couldn't dodge, he would simply endure it with his body.

Before long, the set of bandit clothes that Lu Lin had found in the misty mountain area was once again tattered and torn.

But in front of Lu Lin, a number of them also fell.

He did not kill him.

But there will definitely be many cases of torn tendons and broken bones.

"Lu Lu, Lu Lin?"

Chen Hongzhi was astonished; when did Lu Lin acquire such strength?

Needless to say, these tattooed burly men were all petty thugs, the strongest of whom was only a bald, burly man at the Skin Refining level. But Fan Li was a genuine Bone Refining level cultivator, practicing Buddhist techniques, with a strong body, immense strength, and skill in swordsmanship. How could he not even withstand a single move from Lu Lin?

"Lu Lin!"

Chen Dingkun was trembling with rage. He roared, "Get out! From this day forward, you are not allowed to set foot in my Chen family again! Get out!"

"Dad, what kind of bewitching drug did this bald monk give you? Why are you protecting him so much?"

Chen Hongzhi was unhappy that Lu Lin was being scolded by his father. "Lu Lin is my sparring partner. You can't treat him like that."

"We can't treat him like this!"

Chen Dingkun laughed angrily, "Then get out of here too! I'm your father. I provide you with food, drink, and clothing, and I even support your martial arts training. And now that you've become a little successful, you don't even recognize your own father."

"Get out of here and don't ever come back."

"And Chen Hongming, you get out of here too, get out, get out, all of you get out and never come back."

Chen Dingkun appeared to be insane, but Madam Zheng, who was standing nearby, came to her senses at that moment.

If Chen Dingkun had only expelled the fourth son, she would have felt sorry for him at most, but expelling the second son crossed her bottom line.

"Master, please don't! Hongzhi and Hongming are your children. Please calm down. I'll have the two boys apologize to you."

"What are you apologizing for? Aren't they my sons? Who has ever seen a son scold his father like this? Don't say another word, or you'll get out too."

Madam Zheng had a lot to say, but couldn't get it out.

With her at home, things can still be salvaged.

If she leaves, who knows which vixen will take her place?

"Fine, I'll leave. If you tell me to get out, I won't acknowledge you as my father. Lu Lin, Second Brother, let's go!"

Chen Hongzhi was filled with anger and pulled Lu Lin slowly outside.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Hongming turned and left.

This is definitely not normal. Chen Dingkun usually cares for them a lot and often asks about their well-being. How could they have changed like this in just three days?

It must be that evil monk named Fanli who is behind this, bewitching Chen Dingkun.

Chen Hongming glared fiercely at Fan Li before following Lu Lin and the other man out of the Chen residence.

Just as they stepped out of the Chen residence gate, a group of constables in blue robes and carrying swords rushed over.

"What happened? Why did someone report it to the authorities?"

The head constable's gaze immediately focused on Lu Lin when he saw the blood on his body.

His expression hardened, and the head constable asked, "Name, age, place of origin... Did you commit the murder?"

"Hey, constable, don't talk nonsense. Clearly, some villains broke into my house and bewitched my father. Lu Lin was just with me to eliminate the intruders. How could he have killed someone? Did you see anyone die?"

Worried that Lu Lin would be convicted, Chen Hongzhi hurriedly began to explain.

"Foreign thieves?"

The head constable smiled and said, "We need evidence to determine who is the outsider and who is the insider. Since you have a conflict, come with me to the yamen."

"Tie them all up."

"Tie me up? On what grounds! Even if you're a constable, you can't just kidnap people like that."

"Heh, what do you mean by arbitrarily kidnapping people? This constable has determined that you are involved in a murder case. I am now acting on orders from my superiors to arrest you suspects. Any problems?"

Seeing Chen Hongzhi's anger and apparent readiness to attack, the head constable added, "Go ahead and try. You're still suspects. If the magistrate finds nothing wrong after his interrogation, you can be released. But if you lay a hand on him, well, I won't let you experience the taste of prison!"

"Fourth Young Master, don't act rashly."

Now it was Lu Lin's turn to persuade him. He stretched out his hands, letting the constables tie them up. He stared at Constable Wang's face and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask what your name is?"
