Chapter 179: Have You Heard of the Thousand Years of Death?
"You!"
The leading shadow instinctively raised the baseball bat in his hand and swung it at Lin Tian.
"Stop struggling. I’ve already knocked out your companions. If I wanted to knock you out, you’d never be standing here now!"
Lin Tian stepped back to dodge the attack.
"How did you do it?" The leading shadow couldn’t believe it. Fourteen people, even without himself there are still thirteen, but Lin Tian is just one person?
"How did I do it? There’s something wrong with your men!" Lin Tian said, pointing to his head with a smile.
"And we’re all smart people. You must know why I didn’t knock you out, right?" Lin Tian smirked at the leading shadow, raising an eyebrow.
"I give up!" The leading shadow removed his black mask.
Lin Tian didn’t recognize this person and asked gravely, "Who sent you?"
"No comment!"
"Damn, you’re still acting tough at a time like this?"
Lin Tian’s arrogant nature was on full display.
Facing Lin Tian’s arrogant words, the other person was even more defiant: "If you have the guts, then kill me!"
"Kill you?"
Lin Tian laughed, a joyous laugh: "Looks like you’re trying to provoke me into knocking you out?"
The shadow hadn’t expected Lin Tian to see through his intentions. Without showing any emotion, he said, "Don’t get cocky with me. When I was cocky, you were still drinking milk somewhere!"
Arrogant, too arrogant!
It was the first time Lin Tian had seen someone more arrogant and pretentious than himself.
"Really?"
Lin Tian said nothing more, lifting his leg for a direct kick: "Show me more of that arrogance, will you?"
"Ah~!"
A miserable sound rang out as the baseball bat clattered to the ground. The shadow clutched his crotch with both hands.
"Arrogant, aren’t you? Keep it up!"
Lin Tian gave the opponent’s hand another hard kick, but the recoil from that kick was nearly too much for him!
"Oh~ oh~!"
A man’s moaning duet escaped his mouth, his whole body collapsed on the ground like a sack of potatoes, unable to stand.
Lin Tian looked at the guy on the ground, fuming: "I’m telling you, I’ve never met anyone more arrogant than myself, and you dare act tough in front of me? I’ll destroy you today!"
"I’m telling you, I won’t say a thing today!"
The guy was clearly tough as nails; Lin Tian was intrigued. If you won’t talk, I’ll find a way to make you.
His dark eyes glanced around, and when he spotted a steel pipe on the ground, a wicked idea sprouted in his mind.
The steel pipe, a piece of rebar sawed off for easy fighting, usually two fingers wide, convenient to grip.
Lin Tian picked up the steel pipe from the ground, looked it over, and then fixed his gaze on the man sprawled on the ground: "You really won’t talk?"
"If you’ve got the guts, kill me. I won’t talk!"
"Alright, alright, you’re tough!"
Lin Tian held the steel pipe, a mischievous grin curling his lips: "Have you ever heard of a term?"
"What term?"
"Thousand-year kill!"
Lin Tian uttered three words.
"Thousand-year kill? What’s that?"
The shadow’s bewildered voice rang out.
It was the first time he’d heard of the Thousand-year kill. What the hell is it?
Lin Tian said no more, aimed the steel pipe, and jabbed it into the man’s raised butt.
"Ah... oh..."
The heart-wrenching cry startled the cicadas in the trees, a few green leaves fluttering down in fright.
"Hiss!"
"I... damn it, it hurts... hurts... so much!"
"Was I a bit harsh?" Lin Tian released the steel pipe, which appeared fixed to the man like a tail.
"Will you talk or not? If you don’t, I’ll drive it deeper!"
Lin Tian saw the man’s wretched state and hesitated to go further.
"No, no... big brother, I was wrong!"
"Then honestly tell me who sent you!"
Lin Tian picked up the baseball bat from the ground in a demonstrative gesture, indicating that if the man didn’t talk, the bat would be used next.
"Smiling Tiger Du Dahai!" the man weakly responded.
"Du Dahai?" Lin Tian frowned. He hadn’t considered Du Dahai, but always felt it’s unlikely Du Dahai would bother him.
To his surprise, it actually was Du Dahai!
"Can you let me go now?"
The man nervously eyed the baseball bat in Lin Tian’s hand. If a steel pipe hurt this much, then...
"Of course!"
Lin Tian swung the bat, knocking the man out cold.
"Why is Du Dahai causing me trouble?"
This question lingered in Lin Tian’s mind, refusing to be dismissed.
"Could it be that Du Dahai knows my true identity?"
This was the only explanation Lin Tian could think of for Du Dahai’s harassment.
Otherwise, after scaring him twice, would Du Dahai still dare to cause trouble?
"It must be this!"
Lin Tian was convinced his guess was correct and urgently pulled out his phone to call Bai Shishi.
"Lin Tian, what’s up?" a languid voice sounded. Bai Shishi was already getting ready for bed.
"Miss Bai, something happened on my end; I need to inform you!" Lin Tian said with concern, given Smiling Tiger Du Dahai was a person even Bai Shishi feared.
"Not a good thing, is it?"
Lin Tian suddenly calling with a matter meant nothing good, Bai Shishi knew.
"About a dozen people blocked me on my way home just now!"
Bai Shishi’s heart skipped a beat: "And then?"
Lin Tian gave a bitter laugh: "Then I took care of them, grabbed someone and asked who was behind it. Guess who?"
"Could it be Du Dahai?" Bai Shishi speculated.
"It’s him!"
"This is bad!" That was Bai Shishi’s only thought.
If Du Dahai was troubling Lin Tian, it surely meant he knew Lin Tian’s identity and background.
After being deceived twice, Du Dahai wouldn’t let this grudge slide easily.
"I think so too!"
Lin Tian shared her sentiment, but one question puzzled him: "But I’m curious how Du Dahai found out about my identity?"
Who knew Lin Tian, the model student, was involved in this? Only Bai Shishi knew, and with Kanyue City so vast, Du Dahai wouldn’t be able to find out unless there was another twist to this tale.
Lin Tian’s words gave Bai Shishi a start, transforming her initial panic into calm: "Lin Tian, don’t panic yet!"
"First, it’s not yet confirmed that it was Du Dahai’s people. Secondly, even if Du Dahai knows your identity, how much does he know?"
"I don’t believe he fully understands you!"
Bai Shishi analyzed calmly: "Be careful for now, I’ll have someone look into it tomorrow!"
"Don’t worry, Miss Bai, I’m not easy to kill, but watch yourself—don’t let me drag you into this!"
Lin Tian didn’t make the call out of concern for his own safety; worst case, he’d go down fighting Du Dahai!
If you want to kill me, I’ll take you down with me!!!
