Chapter 13
H-how could this be?
Ye Qing's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Han, filled with utter astonishment and horror!
She never would have dreamed that Lin Han not only knew Master Hu…
But that Master Hu seemed to be terrified of him!
'Isn't he just a remnant of the Lin Family? Could it be... he has another identity?'
For a moment, Ye Qing's heart trembled violently!
It was as if she sensed she had lost some kind of precious, yet terrifying, opportunity!
And it wasn't just her!
Beside them, Xian'er's beautiful eyes also flashed with a glimmer of surprise!
'Looks like Brother Xiao Linzi is even more amazing than I thought!'
Muttering to herself, Xian'er's gaze toward Lin Han grew even more infatuated!
However, just then!
"Yo! It's quite lively here!"
A mocking voice drifted over from nearby, instantly drawing the attention of Lin Han and the others!
"Eh? Lin Han!"
"Heh heh, looks like Mu'er was telling the truth. You, the homeless dog, have really returned!"
A man, a woman, and an old man slowly walked over!
Seeing the young man in the lead,
Lin Han's gaze turned completely cold!
Zhao Tianming!!!
The man and woman before them were none other than Eldest Young Master Zhao of the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianming, and the young lady of the Su Family—Su Mu'er!
"Eldest... Eldest Young Master Zhao, save me!"
Gao Jianxiang, who was nearby, crawled over covered in blood as if he had just seen his savior!
"Young Master Gao, you're pretty useless, aren't you? Letting a homeless dog beat you up this badly?"
The corner of Zhao Tianming's mouth curled up in utter disdain!
"Young Master Zhao, this bastard knows Master Hu!"
"I asked Master Hu for help this time, but I never expected him to turn on me! Please, Young Master Zhao, stand up for me!"
Master Hu?
Only then did Zhao Tianming's gaze fall upon Master Hu at the side, his face clouding over with a sinister coldness.
"You must be Tiger."
"Last time, I had a few of your men dig up some graves! Thought I'd let that bunch of dead ghosts from the Lin Family get some sun!"
"Was it you who stopped them?"
Digging up graves!
Hearing this, Su Mu'er's pretty face changed. She never imagined Zhao Tianming would do such a thing!
For a moment, her gaze toward Lin Han held an extra trace of guilt!
"So what if it was me!"
Master Hu's expression was grim. He knew he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Tianming, let alone the Zhao Family!
But for Lin Han!
He would risk it all!
"You, with the surname Zhao, you're too damn vicious, not even sparing the dead!" Master Hu roared, his heart filled with rage!
But this sentence made killing intent flare in Zhao Tianming's eyes!
"Good! What a tough nut to crack!"
"In that case, I'll loosen up the bones of every single one of you!"
With that, Zhao Tianming waved his hand.
"Elder Mo, cripple every last one of them!!!"
WHOOSH!
At these words, the expressions on Master Hu and Xian'er changed completely!
Their furious gazes fell upon a gray-robed old man who was slowly stepping forward!
An expert!
The moment he saw the old man, Master Hu felt the hairs on his body stand on end. An indescribable sense of crisis washed over him!
"Brothers, get him! Stop him!!!"
Master Hu roared!
CLAMOR!
In an instant, dozens of surrounding thugs brandished their clubs and swarmed toward the old man!
"A swarm of ants, courting death!"
A disdainful smile appeared on the lips of the gray-robed old man!
Then he suddenly struck!
What followed was a scene that shocked everyone!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Master Hu's men were like children before the gray-robed old man, utterly defenseless!
With every move the old man made, a group of burly men would collapse to the ground!
In the blink of an eye!
THUD!
Dozens of men lay scattered across the ground, in disarray!
The entire crowd was utterly horrified!
"Damn it! He... he's an Inner Force Master!!!"
Master Hu was stunned beyond belief!
He knew that Martial Artists were divided into several levels!
Outer Force Experts, Inner Force Masters, Grandmaster Strong Persons, King-level Experts (S), Emperor-level Powerhouses (SS), and the legendary SSS-level Venerables!
Ordinarily,
a single Outer Force Expert could run rampant and be unstoppable in Jiang City!
But now, this gray-robed old man was clearly an Inner Force Master!
Forget about just them!
Even a hundred men would be no match for this gray-robed elder!
"Mr. Lin, all of you, go now!"
"I'll hold him off, even if it costs me my life!"
Master Hu was utterly frantic!
After saying this, he was about to charge forward and fight to the death!
But just then, Lin Han pulled him back and stepped forward!
"You are not his match."
With that, Lin Han walked in front of everyone to stand opposite the gray-robed old man!
This scene made Zhao Tianming's eyes light up.
"Heh heh... Lin Han, I have to say, you've got guts!"
"Too bad you're just asking to die! Fine. I couldn't dig up your whole family's skeletons last time, so today, I'll just break your bones instead!"
Finishing his threat, Zhao Tianming was about to order the gray-robed old man to attack!
"Wait!" It was Su Mu'er who quickly stopped him.
Hm?
Zhao Tianming froze, looking at Su Mu'er with confusion!
"Tianming, for my sake, can you spare his life?"
"After all, we were once engaged! After this, whether he lives or dies will have nothing more to do with me!"
What!
Zhao Tianming's expression changed!
He hadn't expected Su Mu'er to still harbor some feelings for Lin Han. For a moment, his face flickered with uncertainty.
"I can spare him this once, but he has to kneel before me and admit he's a homeless dog!"
Su Mu'er nodded, then turned to Lin Han and said with a complicated expression,
"Lin Han, you heard him!"
"Hurry up, get on your knees and say it. A moment of humiliation in exchange for your life! It's worth it!"
Nearby, Ye Qing and Gao Jianxiang also turned to look at Lin Han!
They were eager to see what this guy would do!
However!
Lin Han almost laughed out of sheer anger!
He looked at Su Mu'er as if she were an idiot.
"I can give you face!"
Face?
'Is this guy really about to cave?'
Gao Jianxiang gritted his teeth in hatred, while Ye Qing's face was filled with disappointment!
But in the next moment!
"If Zhao Tianming breaks his own arms and legs, I'll spare him this once!"
GAK!
The moment he spoke, it was as if a mute button had been pressed. The entire area fell instantly silent!
Wha... what?
Make Zhao Tianming break his own arms and legs?
He's insane!
This guy is absolutely insane!
No one around them could have imagined that with Zhao Tianming backed by a powerful Inner Force Master, Lin Han would still dare to be so arrogant!
"Hahaha..."
Zhao Tianming laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, pointing at Lin Han as if he were looking at a clown.
"Lin Han, not only are you a homeless dog, you're an idiot too!"
"Make me break my own limbs? In your dreams!"
At that moment, Zhao Tianming couldn't be bothered to waste another word on Lin Han. He waved his hand.
"Elder Mo, I want to know if his bones are as hard as his mouth is!"
"Break every single bone in his body for me!!!"
WHOOSH!
At his words, everyone shivered, feeling the full force of Zhao Tianming's crazed killing intent!
The gray-robed old man acknowledged the order and stepped forward in an instant!
"Kid, don't you worry!"
"I'll be gentle. You'll just pass out, and then every bone in your body will be broken!"
The gray-robed old man let out a malevolent laugh!
WHOOSH!!!
His large, old, and withered hands came crashing down, aimed at Lin Han's bones!
The wind from his palm howled!
A monstrous wave of energy surged forth!
Nearby, Master Hu and the others, despite being several meters away, felt a tremor run through their bodies, as if they had been plunged into an ice cellar!
Three meters!
One meter!
Half a meter!
The gray-robed old man's speed was extreme, reaching Lin Han's position in the space of a single breath!
But Lin Han showed no reaction at all, causing the faces of Xian'er, Master Hu, and the others to drain of color!
"Brother Xiao Linzi!!!"
"Mr. Lin, dodge!!!"
Their voices were anxious and shrill, but it was too late!
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianming and Gao Jianxiang were ecstatic!
Ye Qing and Su Mu'er shook their heads.
It was over!
This time, Lin Han was a dead man!
SLAP!!!
Just then, the sound of a loud slap suddenly echoed!
Everyone saw a figure being sent flying by the force of the blow!
With a THUD!
It crashed to the ground, unconscious!
