Chapter 227 Undercurrents Surge in the Capital, Mysterious Courtyard Walls Display Their Power
The undercurrents in Beijing's martial arts world soon reached Lin Fan's courtyard house.
Those martial arts forces from outside the capital encountered setbacks everywhere they went.
Their gaze began to turn to those seemingly ordinary places, yet exuding a special aura.
Lin Fan's courtyard house undoubtedly became one of their key targets.
That afternoon.
Lin Fan was teasing Cerberus in the yard.
The three-headed dog wagged its tail and let out a low growl, appearing very excited.
Lin Fan's consciousness detected the presence of an uninvited guest.
A group of foreigners dressed in black sneaked into the alley near the courtyard house without making a sound.
They moved nimbly, clearly well-trained.
The leader was a burly man with blond hair and blue eyes.
His eyes were cunning.
"Captain, this is it," a subordinate reported in a low voice.
"According to intelligence, there were extremely powerful energy fluctuations here, but they disappeared quickly."
"This place may very well hold the 'Eastern treasure' we've been searching for."
The blond man curled his lips into a smirk, a hint of disdain in his expression.
"An Eastern treasure?" he scoffed.
"I think it's the nest of an Eastern rat."
"But it doesn't matter. Whatever it is, if we set our sights on it, we must get it."
They quietly approached Lin Fan's courtyard house.
This courtyard looks no different from any other.
But there was an invisible pressure around them that made them feel uncomfortable.
"Be careful, there might be some strange formation here," the blond man warned in a low voice.
They tried to climb over the wall to get in.
However, just as their hands were about to touch the courtyard wall...
"Bang!"
A dull, loud bang.
The blond man at the head of the group felt a tremendous force rebound back at him.
He flew out like a rag doll.
"Thump!"
He fell heavily onto the ground in the alley.
My internal organs are all out of place, and my chest is burning with pain.
I almost couldn't catch my breath.
His men were stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Before they could react, they saw their captain being thrown out.
"Captain!" his men exclaimed and rushed over to help him up.
The blond man struggled to get up.
He found that his body was completely broken down and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
He stared in horror at the high courtyard wall, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What...is this?" he mumbled incoherently.
His men also stepped forward, trying to touch the wall.
However, every touch.
They would all be violently repelled by an invisible force.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several muffled thuds echoed through the alley.
His men were all thrown back one by one.
They were thrown around in a daze, groaning in pain.
They were completely terrified.
I have never seen such a bizarre sight.
This wall is no ordinary wall!
It seemed to have a life of its own, preventing anyone who came near from touching it.
The blond man finally understood.
This time, they've really bitten off more than they can chew.
He recalled the "powerful energy fluctuations" mentioned in the intelligence report.
This isn't just an energy fluctuation; it's a miracle!
He struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring his injuries.
He immediately shouted to his men, "Retreat! Retreat now!"
A group of people scrambled and stumbled as they fled the alley in a disheveled state.
Lin Fan lay on the rocking chair.
His consciousness took in all of this.
He raised a slight smirk, his expression full of amusement.
It seems this group of people isn't honest enough.
he knows.
This deterrent was just a small appetizer.
The real trouble is yet to come.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the rare tranquility.
In the alley, a group of disheveled foreigners, filled with fear after their escape.
"Captain, what exactly was that? Was it some kind of Eastern magic?" one of his men asked, still shaken.
The blond man had a somber expression.
He shook his head: "I don't know."
"But I know that the courtyard is far more dangerous than we imagined."
A huge sense of frustration welled up inside him.
He originally thought that with his strength, he would be able to sweep through the capital.
Unexpectedly, even an ordinary courtyard caused them a great deal of suffering.
"Captain, should we continue investigating?" his subordinate asked.
The blond man remained silent for a moment.
A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Temporarily retreat," he said in a deep voice.
"We need more detailed intelligence, and more powerful forces."
He knew that this failure was just the beginning.
That mysterious courtyard house.
That mysterious Mr. Lin.
They will never give up so easily.
Lin Fan waited quietly in the courtyard.
he knows.
This is just the beginning.
He needs a more powerful "enemy" so that he can better enjoy "peace and quiet".
