Chapter 451: By Accident
"No way!"
Mei Ruyan was the first to oppose. But realizing her voice was too loud, she lowered it and said, "Are you really thinking of being bait looking like this? If they have guns, you’ll just get shot the moment you go over."
Mei Ruyan’s attitude was firm. Allowing the severely injured Lin Tian to continue acting was already pushing the limit; it was impossible to let him continue taking risks.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Don’t worry. They don’t have guns."
But they did have shurikens. Lin Tian didn’t say this out loud.
"How do you know?" Mei Ruyan questioned.
Lin Tian’s voice paused. He couldn’t exactly say he had x-ray vision, so he said, "I deduced it. Their kimonos are so loose, there probably isn’t a place to hide a gun."
This reasoning clearly didn’t convince Mei Ruyan. She glanced at Lin Tian coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe that?"
"So what do you suggest?" Lin Tian looked at her.
"Use guns, ambush them." Mei Ruyan pulled out a handgun from her waist.
"I’m afraid that won’t work because we’ve already been discovered."
Mei Ruyan looked up, and sure enough, the four kimono-clad people from Sakula Country were already looking in their direction, aggressively charging over.
"I didn’t expect you to survive such a meticulous ambush. It seems you’re really lucky, even a sniper couldn’t kill you." One of the Sakula Country men spoke in clumsy language: "But you survived and still didn’t escape, instead came here to court death."
After speaking, those Sakula Country men broke into twisted laughter.
The four from Sakula Country also noticed the weapon in Xiao Yi’s hand, so they scattered, moving extremely fast. Whenever Xiao Yi raised the rocket launcher, they would start dodging in a zigzag pattern, making it hard even for the launcher to hit them.
"Shoot."
After Mei Ruyan spoke, she raised the handgun. Her dominant hand was her right hand, which was injured, so her accuracy with her left hand was much worse. Moreover, the opponent’s slippery movements meant Mei Ruyan fired several shots and still missed.
One bullet grazed past a Sakula man’s cheek, leaving a cut on his face, which looked strange, washed by the rain.
This clearly enraged him. He pulled out two shurikens from his waist, square with four corners, a type commonly used by Sakula practitioners.
With a flick of his wrist, the two shurikens flew out of his hands, shooting towards Mei Ruyan and Lin Tian, so fast they appeared as two black streaks.
His move was naturally not unnoticed by Lin Tian. The moment the shurikens flew out, Lin Tian also threw two pebbles from his pocket.
Wrapped in Spiritual Qi, the pebbles instantly met the shurikens mid-air with a clash of metal and two sparks. The shurikens were effortlessly neutralized by Lin Tian.
From this brief encounter, Lin Tian gauged the opponent’s strength, tauntingly said, "You guys are pretty trashy, not even as good as Meichuan Kuzi, and yet you dare to show your face?"
Though they were from Sakula Country, they understood a bit of the local language. Lin Tian’s words struck their ears like slaps to their faces, turning them red with rage.
He cursed in awkward Celestial Dragon Continent tongue: "You ignorant one! Lord Meichuan Kuzi is a lower warrior! Do you know how powerful lower warriors are? Ignorant! Clueless!"
"Lower warriors are really trash. Last time, I killed two in a row." Lin Tian was amused, why did these Sakula men think what he considered trash was so impressive?
"What?"
Not just the Sakula man before him, the other three also had strange looks upon hearing this. They glanced at Lin Tian, noticed his injuries, and then started laughing, "So you’re the Lin Tian who killed Lord Meichuan Kuzi."
Lin Tian challengingly glanced at them, dismissively saying, "That’s right. I am your Grandpa Lin Tian."
They naturally understood this sentence, their faces flushed red again.
This person is insulting us!
"You bastard!"
With a Sakula man’s curse, the four of them focused on Lin Tian. Their main target for this mission was to eliminate the person named Lin Tian.
Though rumors said he was formidable, now he was gravely injured, wasn’t he a spent force, as the Celestial Dragon Continent saying goes?
Seeing all four charging at once, Lin Tian shielded Mei Ruyan behind him, reaching into his pocket where two more pebbles lay.
By now, Xiao Yi had set aside the cumbersome rifle and charged over.
Xiao Yi was a top fighter from the Xianglong Tea House, equally swift, he reached the four Sakula men and lashed out with a sweeping kick.
Though Xiao Yi’s kick didn’t connect with anyone, it kicked up dirt and water, splattering it on their faces.
The scalding sensation on their faces intensified the aggression of the four Sakula men, surrounding Xiao Yi at once.
Though not as strong as Meichuan Kuzi, they remained formidable.
The four attacked simultaneously, their tactics brutal, aiming for Xiao Yi’s vital points, not even sparing his groin.
Facing four opponents, Xiao Yi was clearly struggling. After a few exchanges, he appeared exhausted, a kick landing on his stomach sending him flying and landing in the mud with a splash.
The four men employed ruthless tactics, pulling out hidden weapons, hurling them towards Xiao Yi.
Lin Tian was quick-eyed and hand, throwing his pebbles, once again knocking a shuriken out of the way. A pebble struck directly at a Sakula man’s crotch.
What followed was a pig-like scream, heart-wrenching, silencing after a few cries.
Lin Tian was momentarily startled by the scene, then hastily waved a hand and said, "Sorry, sorry, it was a mistake, I meant to hit you in the stomach. I accidentally broke your balls."
Lin Tian was being honest, it was indeed a slip-up.
All eyes turned to the Sakula man clutching his groin, blood flowing from his crotch, soaking his clothes under the rain.
The sight made the other three Sakula men involuntarily shiver, as if feeling the pain themselves.
The Sakula man clutching his crotch was grimacing in pain, cursing furiously in his native tongue, with a vengeful tone as if wanting to consume Lin Tian’s flesh and blood.
Lin Tian couldn’t understand, but the other three Sakula men did. Ignoring the fallen Xiao Yi, they charged directly at Lin Tian.
