Chapter 250: Sudden Power Surge
"Hehe, in all my years, you’re the first who dares to speak to me like this!"
The mysterious figure sneered coldly, "Young man, I truly admire your courage in the face of death!"
"Stop with the nonsense, if you know what’s good for you, leave immediately, or you’ll die here today!" Lin Tian was completely exhausted, just bluffing to scare off the opponent. If he managed to intimidate him, that would be ideal; if not, at least it would give the other a psychological burden.
"I wasn’t raised to be scared. If you’ve got the skills, come and kill me then!" the mysterious figure said indifferently.
"What to do! What to do!" Lin Tian was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around.
At the moment, no matter the angle, everything was disadvantageous to him. Coupled with the aerial combat, it was entirely the opponent’s home ground.
"Since you’re not making a move, I’ll strike first!"
The mysterious figure sneered coldly, "I’ll use your blood to honor my fallen companions!"
"Can’t we pause for a moment?" Lin Tian, filled with questions, truly didn’t have the mood for a fight.
"What do you want?" the mysterious figure asked.
"Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question!"
Lin Tian asked, "Why did you kidnap Bai Shishi?"
In Waihai City, Lin Tian had killed Naokawa Kumashiro and Meichuan Kuzi, but the whole thing was done without a trace.
Nobody knew Lin Tian had killed them, and at the time only Bai Shishi and Wang Quan were present.
Wang Quan was already in prison, and Bai Shishi would never tell this mysterious figure.
Furthermore, from the dialogue just now, it was clear that although the mysterious figure was a companion of those two deceased, he was unaware that they were dead.
So what was the mysterious figure’s true purpose in kidnapping Bai Shishi?
Revenge for his companions?
Apparently, he had just learned about the deaths of Meichuan Kuzi and Naokawa Kumashiro?
Thus, the mysterious figure had no reason to kidnap Bai Shishi for this reason, and then lure the enemy in, solving Lin Tian in the process?
This question kept lingering in Lin Tian’s mind, making him feel more and more that something was off.
Because his reasoning was that Bai Jiaming was the mastermind behind this, but everything in front of his eyes completely overturned his imagination!!!
"Hehehe, that’s none of your concern!" The mysterious figure, who had been observing the surroundings, fixed his gaze on Lin Tian, excitedly licking his parched lips.
"You seem quite weak, don’t you?" The mysterious figure, observing Lin Tian’s condition, reached a conclusion.
"Hehe, I just want an answer to my question. I wonder if you could tell me," Lin Tian asked with a smile, though his heart tightened, not expecting the opponent to be so perceptive.
The mysterious figure remained silent, instead sneering coldly, "You can go to hell!"
A dart shot out swiftly, aiming straight for Lin Tian’s left chest, targeting his heart.
"Clang!"
The imagined scene was the dart piercing Lin Tian’s heart, his whole body falling helplessly into a pool of blood, gazing up at him in his final moments.
But, contrary to the imagined scene, the dart stopped abruptly within an arm’s length from Lin Tian’s left chest and fell to the ground without warning.
The mysterious figure even forgot to use the thread to retrieve the dart, letting it fall from the high altitude to the ground, making a crisp metallic sound.
"This?" The mysterious figure’s mouth gaped wide enough to fit an egg.
"The game is just beginning!" In an instant, the weakness and fatigue on Lin Tian’s body disappeared, replaced by an aura of demonic charm.
Especially his pitch-black eyes, which subtly glimmered with a red hue.
"Your... your eyes!" The mysterious figure noticed the change in Lin Tian’s body, thinking this was his new trick.
"Aren’t you arrogant? Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me? Come on!"
Lin Tian’s body floated steadily in the air, with the lines that had been around him snapping all at once.
"This is..."
The mysterious figure was once again full of shock, realizing that while he relied on several threads to stay afloat, Lin Tian just floated without any aid.
"What kind of concept is this?"
It seemed like only deities could achieve such a feat?
Being a master, the mysterious figure quickly regained his composure from the shock, rapidly flicking his hands to release dozens of darts in a torrential barrage towards Lin Tian.
Lin Tian’s blood-red eyes fixed on the darts, neither dodging nor flinching, remaining suspended in midair.
As the darts approached, seemingly about to hit Lin Tian, they bizarrely stopped.
"How is this possible?" The mysterious figure tugged on the threads, attempting to pull the darts back, but a powerful force from the threads rendered him unable to control them.
"Clang, clang...!"
The suspended darts lost all control and clattered to the ground.
"Gulp!" The mysterious figure’s adam’s apple bobbed, the sound of swallowing amplified in the quiet night.
"Come on, use whatever skills you’ve got!" Lin Tian’s body rapidly closed the distance with the mysterious figure.
"Don’t come any closer!" The mysterious figure was panicked now, having no darts left but still equipped with silver needles. His hands moved quickly, weaving a large net in front of him. If Lin Tian dared to come in, he’d be trapped like a spider ensnaring its prey.
Lin Tian’s body got closer and closer to the net, with sweat saturating the mysterious figure’s palms, hinging all hope on this attempt.
However, when Lin Tian stepped into the net and the mysterious figure moved his fingers to close it, an unexpected incident occurred.
The threads could not enwrap Lin Tian. Every time they approached him, Lin Tian just waved his right hand, severing the threads in two.
"This!" The mysterious figure was dumbstruck, encountering far too many firsts tonight, with each shock surpassing the last in astonishment.
Yet all the previous firsts and shocks were nothing compared to the sheer stupefaction of this one.
To know that these threads weren’t ordinary ones, but specially refined Celestial Silkworm Silk, impervious to water and fire, unbreakable by blades, remarkably sturdy.
Yet now they were being severed all at once; could the mysterious figure not be astounded?
"Run!" This thought flashed across the mysterious figure’s mind, his body immediately losing control in the air, plummeting rapidly downward.
"Trying to escape?" Lin Tian’s lips curled into a weak smile, yet the icy expression could give anyone a chill.
As the mysterious figure hit the ground, before his feet even touched it, he felt his neck being grasped, his body rapidly yanked backward.
"Bang!"
The mysterious figure’s body slammed heavily onto the cockpit’s iron door, his neck clutched by Lin Tian’s right hand, with his legs dangling midair.
"Ugh~!"
Struggling for breath, the mysterious figure’s limbs flailed wildly, both hands desperately clawing at Lin Tian’s right hand, to no avail.
"If you have the guts, kill me!" The mysterious figure used his last breath to voice his defiance.
"Want to die? It’s not that simple!" Before figuring out the ins and outs of the situation, Lin Tian clearly had no intention of destroying his opponent.
