Chapter 103: A Single Blow to Annihilate

A one-eyed man named Mao stared in terror at the upper floor, his heart cursing bitterly. Damn it, was he an idiot? Why the hell had he insisted on following them here? Wasn’t this just like walking into a fire pit with Guan Tianxiong and the others?!

The rest of the people who had come along were equally groaning inwardly. Damn it all—before, they had already twice failed to keep up with Mister Lin’s pace, and only after great difficulty had they finally caught up, only to blunder straight into an ambush. What terrible luck this was!

Even Guan Tianxiong and Yao Kun and the others had begun to feel a trace of tension.

The layout of this upscale bar was circular. They were now standing in the middle of that circle, while the ambushers were hiding on the second floor. In a situation like this, the terrain was disastrously unfavorable to them.

Guan Tianxiong could even see that the people crouching behind the pillars were holding firearms!

Yao Kun had also noticed this. The hearts of the two men sank at once.

“Mister Lin…” Guan Tianxiong said nervously, wanting to tell him that the other side had hidden gunmen.

“No need to panic,” Lin Yue said in an even tone.

His words were like a spell. After Guan Tianxiong heard them, the tension that had been gripping him truly began to loosen.

Yao Kun, too, found himself calming down and growing steadier.

In their eyes, it was as though this whole world belonged to Lin Yue. If he said there would be no problem, then there would be none. If he said there was no need to panic, then there was indeed no need.

Even if the sky were to fall, it would be the same!

“Hahaha, I wondered what kind of man had managed to defeat Bald Bao and the others. So you’re just a kid after all. Hahaha!”

The giant with two blades in his hands looked at Lin Yue and spoke with arrogant contempt.

“You brat, being able to beat Bald Bao and the others means you’ve got some skill,” said the other giant, the one with a dagger, with a grin.

“Pity you’ve got skill and no brains! Did you really think that after clearing out two places in a row, we’d still sit here waiting for you to come to us? We were prepared long ago!” The dagger-wielding man’s expression darkened, his voice turning icy, thick with killing intent.

“If you’re talking about those eight gunmen upstairs, I already know about them. No need for you to waste any more breath,” Lin Yue said lightly, his hands still in his pockets.

“Hm?” The dagger man gave a startled sound, clearly not expecting the other side to know their ambush so well.

The giant with the two blades also showed a look of surprise, which quickly turned into malice.

“In that case, doesn’t that make you even more foolish? Knowing full well that we’ve set an ambush, and still you insist on walking straight into it. As the saying goes, when paradise has a road you will not take it, yet you force your way into hell. Since you’ve come to deliver yourself to death, don’t blame us!” A flash of viciousness crossed the two-blade man’s face.

At once, he lifted an arm and was about to signal the gunmen upstairs to begin.

One-Eye Mao and the others were so frightened that they shrank together, thinking miserably that their lives might be about to end here.

If only they had never come to this damned meeting. And now, how nice—someone was going to wipe them out in one sweep!

Wasn’t this just a group coming together to die?

Seeing that the gunmen upstairs were about to move, Guan Tianxiong and Yao Kun and the others could no longer suppress their nerves and began to panic.

“Yao Kun, want to know where your throwing-knife technique falls short?” Just when everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Yao Kun suddenly heard Lin Yue’s voice before him, calm as still water.

“Sir…” Yao Kun was stunned, not understanding what Lin Yue meant by saying such a thing at a time like this.

While Yao Kun was still confused, he suddenly saw Lin Yue’s hands sweep behind his back, and several throwing knives were snatched directly into Lin Yue’s grasp.

“Watch closely!” Lin Yue gave a sharp shout.

Then he turned around and thundered, “Die!”

The moment the word left his mouth, the knives in his hand flew out at once.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several explosive blasts rang out. The instant those throwing knives left Lin Yue’s hand, each blade was wrapped in a white ring of force around its body, like the sonic boom unleashed when a supersonic aircraft breaks the sound barrier.

Lin Yue’s throwing knives had actually reached the realm of sonic boom, piercing even the air itself!

Almost at the same time as Lin Yue released the knives, the gunmen who had been hiding behind the pillars also emerged, raising their guns and preparing to fire at Lin Yue and the others.

But Lin Yue’s knives were far faster than they were.

Before they could even pull the triggers, there came several muffled cracks. The gunmen’s bodies were directly pierced through by the throwing knives wrapped in true energy, and fist-sized cavities were blown open in them by that force.

Some of them had been hidden behind the pillars, and even then they could not escape their fate.

The knives, wrapped in true energy, punched straight through the concrete pillars and then drove directly into a man’s chest.

From the moment Lin Yue acted to the moment every ambusher was dealt with, not even one second had passed.

Those ambushers did not even have time to pull the triggers before they were all killed on the spot!

Thud, thud, thud!

One after another, the gunmen fell from the second floor like dumplings dropped into a pot, crashing onto the floor before everyone’s eyes like dead dogs.

“What?!” The two-blade man and the dagger man stared at the scene, their eyes widening so far their jaws nearly fell to the ground.

Eight gunmen, wiped out in a single strike?

How the hell was this still a human being?!

The subordinates behind them were likewise struck dumb, their faces drained of all color. They could scarcely believe their own eyes.

“This…” Guan Tianxiong looked at the corpses lying on the floor, so stunned he could not speak.

It seemed Mister Lin had been right. With him here, there was truly nothing to worry about!

One-Eye Mao had witnessed Lin Yue killing eight gunmen with one move. At that moment, he was as though struck dumb.

This was the first time he had ever seen Lin Yue truly clash with the people of the Crimson Flower Society, and he had won so easily?

One strike to end eight lives? What kind of staggering skill was that!

Terrifying. Mister Lin was simply too terrifying!

One-Eye Mao instinctively touched his own neck and felt even more that his earlier audacity in questioning Mister Lin’s strength in the meeting room had been met only by miracle. The fact that his head was still attached was nothing short of a wonder.

The other big shots of Haidong, seeing what had just happened, reacted much the same way as One-Eye Mao, each of them stunned senseless.

This was the first time they had truly seen Mister Lin in action, and it had been so swift, so terrifying. In that case, the two times they had arrived previously and seen Guan Tianxiong and the others there, it had not been that they had gone and come back again, but that they had already dealt with the enemy before stepping out?

One-Eye Mao had clearly thought of this as well by now, and the thought made it even more unbelievable.

Who was their opponent? The strongest experts under Miao Shouren—the mighty Four Vajras—each of whom could take on their entire gang by themselves!

And yet such formidable opponents had been dealt with by Mister Lin in less than a minute?

That was simply beyond belief!

If One-Eye Mao and the others knew that the real time Lin Yue needed to finish off those Four Vajras was in fact only one move and one second, one could only wonder what they would think then.

At this moment, the most shocked of them all was undoubtedly Yao Kun.

This strike from Lin Yue had not only wiped out the ambush; its greatest purpose was to open Yao Kun’s eyes.

Sonic-boom throwing knives! Eight lives in one blow!

The same throwing knives, when used by Mister Lin, were like divine weapons in his hands!

Lin Yue had perfectly demonstrated to him the highest realm of throwing-knife mastery!

And he was not even a man who had ever cultivated such a technique; yet he had already been able to wield throwing knives to such a miraculous degree!

At this moment, Yao Kun felt that the decades of his own life had been lived on a dog.
