Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 64 - 61: What Kind of Strength

"Ah, preparing a medicinal bath? Such ambition! Planning to succeed in body refinement and overthrow our Lin Family?"

Young Master Lin Er, donned in a purple robe, walked in with two henchmen and sneered at the sight of Liu Zhu in the barrel.

"Not at all. This is just a routine treatment for my ailments. What brings Young Master Lin Er to my humble abode?"

Liu Zhu, half crouching in the barrel and bent at the waist, responded.

"Damn it, you're speaking to me while steeping in the barrel?!

Smash that barrel for me!"

Young Master Lin Er ordered, and the muscular man behind him promptly lifted a stone to smash the medicinal bath wooden barrel.

"No! This is my elder brother's medicinal bath barrel. It costs hundreds of silver taels and took us more than three years to save up, please don't smash it!"

Er Gou, who was just kicked into the room, struggled to stand and block the barrel.

"Smash it!" Young Master Lin Er commanded harshly.

Bang!

The henchman lifted a stone as big as a basin and smashed it down.

"Er Gou, get out of the way!!" Liu Zhu yelled.

"I won't move!" Er Gou stretched his arms to block the stone, and with a loud noise, was hit by it,

and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Er Gou!!!"

Liu Zhu, caring for nothing else, jumped straight out of the barrel, his eyes almost tearing with rage. He held onto Er Gou and dragged him back.

Seeing this, Young Master Lin Er revealed a smirk of amusement. He enjoyed scenes of deep brotherly bond.

"Continue smashing."

Young Master Lin Er, with hands behind his back, calmly looked around the room, casually giving instructions.

Thwack, thwack, splash~!

A few blows and the wooden barrel smashed into pieces, the medicinal mixture spilling all over the floor.

"No... that took us years to save..." Er Gou, gasping for breath due to his severe injuries, looked at the spilled mixture on the floor with bloodshot eyes.

"Oh, there's a tank of fish. Hmm, nice, they're all sort of sizable. Someone, boil a pot of water and let's have a feast with these fish tonight, as a tonic for everyone."

Young Master Lin Er, holding a paper umbrella, leaned on the fish tank with one hand and tapped it with the other.

"No, that's our big... um um um" Er Gou struggled to argue but Liu Zhu covered his mouth.

They promised the boss not to disclose his affairs.

"Young Master Lin Er, please just tell us your order. Surely these poor fish of ours won't be worthy of your esteemed eyes?" Liu Zhu bowed and pleaded.

"Whether they're worthy, how could they not be?! Look at these fish, each one normally found in deeper parts of the lake, each a good item worth a dozen silver taels!

Go on, cook the fish. Tonight, we'll talk over the meal."

Young Master Lin Er found a chair and sat down. His followers began boiling water and cooking the fish.

Of course, they couldn't boil so many fish in one pot, but since Young Master Lin Er had commanded it, they dutifully slaughtered all the fish and cleaned them up.

This tank of fish was worth more than a hundred silver taels, all gone.

Liu Zhu knew he wouldn't be able to explain this to Chen Yi tomorrow, but for now, they had to get through this situation first.

"Liu Zhu, you know Zhang Heng, right? He beat you up a few days ago and disappeared. You can't tell me you don't know anything about this?"

Liu Zhu felt a chill run down his spine, knowing the real issue had arrived. However, he had no part in this.

He quickly shook his head and explained, "Young Master Lin Er, Zhang Heng did beat me up, but we patched things up the next day in the market. Neighborhood people can attest to this.

Furthermore, he offended a middle-aged fisherman that day. Zhang Heng, San Pang, Xiao Liu, the three of them went off with that fisherman and also didn't come back. People in the market saw this too, it really got nothing to do with me!"

"Middle-aged fisherman, does he look like this?" Young Master Lin Er had his henchmen reveal a portrait.

Liu Zhu glanced at it. It was the man from that day. He nodded vigorously: "That's him!"

"Hmph, you can't escape responsibility for this, but we can discuss it later.

Furthermore, where are you getting all these valuable fish you've been selling every day recently?

I believe given your skill level, you two wouldn't be able to catch such fish, right?"

"We're selling these for our boss. Who he is doesn't concern you, we don't even know!" Er Gou blurted out.

"You don't know? You must know what he looks like, what his identity is, how you contact him, where these fish come from, how the silver from the sales are given to him. Confess the truth."

"Sorry, we've sworn an oath never to disclose this information, even if it kills us!" Liu Zhu responded.

"Yeah, our boss is a master. If you mess with his fish, be careful he comes for you!" Er Gou added.

"Huh, he's going to give me trouble? Is he the descendant of some cultivator? On this island, apart from the island lord's family, I, Lin Zheng Xiong, fear no trouble!

Not going to talk, huh? Here, let's give Er Gou a warm-up. Let's see whether your mouth is tougher or your bones are harder!"

Upon Young Master Lin Er's command, two thugs rushed forwards, grabbed Er Gou, and started beating him up.

Er Gou only managed to groan a few times but kept his mouth shut tight.

"Hmph, get out!" After a while, Young Master Lin Er got up, walked in front of Er Gou, and kicked his supporting leg hard.

Crack! The sound of a bone breaking could be heard.

Er Gou screamed out loud.

"Er Gou!!" Liu Zhu watched his brother subjected to torture. His agony was unbearable. "Young Master Lin Er, I beg you, stop asking. We really did swear an oath not to tell, please spare my brother!" He knelt and pleaded.

"Like I said, there's no one on this island that I can't handle.

Fine, because you're so tough, you're awesome.

However, there's nothing that Lin Er needs to know that someone could prevent. Wasting my Obedience Talisman!

But well, my Lin family has no shortage of one thing, and that's money!"

Young Master Lin Er said as he took out a talisman from his pocket, clutched it in his hand, furrowed his brows and exerted what seemed like his Vitality and Blood or some other energy, slowly activating the talisman. frёewebηovel.cѳm

As the talisman gradually shone brighter, Young Master Lin Er showed a cruel smirk on his face:

"Hmph, you people talking about keeping your promises? Taking oaths? You lot know nothing about the horrors of the Cultivation World!"

The talisman suddenly radiated brightly, transformed into a beam of light and struck Er Gou's forehead.

In the blink of an eye, Er Gou instantly stopped struggling, his eyes becoming blurred.

"Who is your boss?" "My brother-in-law, Liu Zhu."

"Uh, who's his boss?" "Liu Zhu's boss, don't know his name."

"What does he do?" "Fishing."

"His abilities?"

At this question, Er Gou struggled, as if his rationality was resisting the power of the talisman. However, the struggle only lasted for a second before Er Gou became dazed again.

"Liu Zhu's boss is strong, he can single-handedly lift a net of fish weighing more than hundreds of pounds."

"Ha ha ha ha, a piece of trash can lift only a hundred pounds with a single hand, I thought he was someone great!" Young Master Lin Er burst into laughter,

His followers joined in, laughing at Liu Zhu's desperate face and said:

"Is this little strength worth hiding?

Let me enlighten you: our Young Master Lin Er has undergone medicine refining nine times, his single-arm strength has reached 900 pounds, and he's about to breakthrough the First Layer of body refinement!"
