Previously, because Chen Yuyan refused to talk, an enraged Shang Yuenong tore her clothes off right in the middle of the street. Ding Yuchen and the others found it all quite amusing. However, it was a public street, and they weren't as brazen as the Fierce Tiger Hall. With so reservations, they forcibly took Chen Yuyan and her two companions away, bringing them to this underground casino to properly deal with the beauty.
Although Chen Yuyan was timid, even a cornered rabbit will bite. Seeing that she was about to be violated, she snatched a knife, intending to take them all down with her. The result was a knife in her own stomach, with blood pouring out like a fountain.
"Damn it, what rotten luck!" Ding Yuchen and his n cursed, their interest completely gone.
Shang Yuenong was splattered with blood, the shock of it clearing her enraged mind. Oh my god, did I… Did I kill soone?!
As a doctor, her first thought wasn't to save the person, but to clear her own na and run. She tossed aside the pliers she had used to pull the little girl's tooth, claiming she had to continue searching for Lin Tang. With that, she stomped down the stairs and fled the casino.
Ding Yuchen and his n had no intention of helping either. They regarded human life as worthless and simply followed her out.
Then, Lin Tang arrived and witnessed the tragic scene.
"Those beasts!"
Though he had only just t Chen Yuyan and had no real relationship with her—he had even been misunderstood and cursed out by her—Lin Tang was furious to see this innocent young life about to be extinguished. It was a matter of basic empathy.
He imdiately took out his acupuncture kit to stop Chen Yuyan's bleeding. As he was applying the needles, another group of n charged up the stairs, each of them ard. One man was even carrying a gas canister connected to a blowtorch.
He sneered, "You dare wreck my place? I'll show you what happens when I burn you to death…"
Without even turning his head, Lin Tang drew his sword. A brilliant flash of light streaked past. The man was sliced clean in two. Even the gas canister was split, and the resulting blast knocked down the surrounding people. A deafening boom echoed through the building, making the entire structure tremble.
Lin Tang swung his sword again, carving a deep gash into the floor.
"Cross this line and you die!"
His voice was utterly freezing.
"Oh my god—"
"Help!"
"He's a devil! A devil!"
"Run!"
The n scread and scrambled over each other to escape. No one dared to return for revenge.
Lin Tang successfully stopped Chen Yuyan's bleeding. He then administered a few needles to ease the little girl's pain before checking on the old scavenger woman. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn't died but had only fainted.
Chen Yuyan had lost too much blood and needed nourishnt. Lin Tang decided to improvise, gathering herbs he could find on-site and brewing a dicinal decoction.
After being made to drink a large bowl of the dicine, Chen Yuyan slowly regained consciousness.
"Is this the underworld? Why is it as bright as the living world? Shouldn't it be pitch-black? What did I just drink? It wasn't ng Po's soup, was it? But then why do I still rember everything…"
"Soup? My foot!" Lin Tang was really done with this fool.
"It's you. You died too?" Chen Yuyan turned her head weakly, her expression bewildered.
Lin Tang was speechless. If I'd known she was such an idiot, I wouldn't have saved her.
"Tell , who exactly captured you, and what was their motive?" Lin Tang asked.
This ti, it was Chen Yuyan's turn to be speechless. Motive? Isn't it because you have a feud with them? We were just dragged into this because of you!
"Uh…" Lin Tang felt a bit awkward. I thought they were after money or her looks. But it was because of ?
"I don't know their nas. I just heard them call soone 'Brother Yuchen' or sothing. Oh, there was a woman who really hates you. She's probably an ex-girlfriend you loved and left." Chen Yuyan attempted a bad joke, trying to ease his embarrassnt. She was just too considerate.
"What ex-girlfriend?" Lin Tang flatly denied it.
"So you're single too…" Chen Yuyan continued to tease.
But before she could finish, Lin Tang's next words cut her off.
"I do have an ex-wife, though."
Lin Tang then asked Chen Yuyan if the woman she had encountered was pretty.
"Hmm, quite pretty."
"Then she's definitely not my ex-wife. My ex-wife is gorgeous. I still haven't t anyone more beautiful than her."
"You…" Chen Yuyan didn't feel like talking to him anymore. What a braggart. If she was really the nation-toppling beauty he described, would he have been willing to divorce her?
「…」
"What? So guy broke into the casino, injured a bunch of people, and even detonated a gas tank, hurting even more?" Ding Yuchen received the call and flew into a rage. He had shares in that casino; any damage to it affected his inco. How could he not be angry?
"It must be Lin Tang! That bastard actually dared to walk right into our trap!" Shang Yuenong, who had just started to calm down, beca agitated all over again.
She had been terrified, thinking Chen Yuyan was dead. If I was investigated for her death, wouldn't I be locked up for life? A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. "Brother Yuchen, why don't we go back right now and capture him? We can fra him for the murder and ruin him for life!"
As long as Lin Tang takes the bla, I'll be free!
"Hmm?"
"That's a great idea!"
"Let's go!"
Ding Yuchen led his n and charged back toward the illegal casino.
As they neared the casino, blades at the ready, a few n ca crying and fleeing from inside.
"Brother Yuchen, who in the world did you people provoke? That guy is terrifying!"
"You're actually going back to fight him? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"
"We have to run! Don't let these idiots drag us down with them!" Upon learning that Brother Yuchen's group intended to fight again, the n decided to leave imdiately, as if their pants were on fire.
"Who the hell are you calling an idiot?"
"How tough can that bastard be? There are so many of us. You think we're afraid of one man?" Ding Yuchen and his group spoke with utter disdain.
In their view, Lin Tang had only managed to cause chaos for two reasons. First, the casino was mostly filled with gamblers, leaving just a few n on guard. Second, he had detonated the gas tank. Now, however, there was no second gas tank. They were all seasoned fighters with plenty of brawling experience, and with their numbers, what couldn't they handle?
"It looks like you won't be convinced until you're staring death in the face! Fine, I'll show you the surveillance footage!" one of the fleeing n said, pulling out his phone and opening the security app.
Shang Yuenong peered over his shoulder and saw the footage of Lin Tang brewing dicine. Chen Yuyan was still lying unconscious beside him.
Shang Yuenong scoffed, "That woman has nearly bled out. If he really wanted to save her, he would've taken her to a hospital for a transfusion. Staying here brewing so useless concoction is ridiculous!"
The man rewound the video, scrubbing to the right tistamp. The screen now showed Shang Yuenong, in a fit of rage, forcibly pulling the little girl's tooth. It then showed Chen Yuyan fighting back and grabbing a knife.
SHKK! Blood sprayed out, staining Shang Yuenong's clothes.
Shang Yuenong was speechless. Watching herself on the screen, she felt a knot of dread in her stomach. Damn it! With this cursed video recording, isn't this concrete proof that we're the real killers? When we go to teach that bastard Lin Tang a lesson, I have to destroy this surveillance system!
However, the playback continued to when Lin Tang appeared.
With a single swing of his sword, he sliced through his opponent and the gas tank simultaneously, instantly splitting them both in half. This triggered an explosion that filled the surveillance screen with static for more than ten seconds.
The scene left Shang Yuenong, Ding Yuchen, and their n staring, dumbfounded, their minds just as blank as the screen.
"Wh-what just happened?"
"Did you see that clearly?"
"No… Damn it, play it again! Quickly!"
"My god, is he even human? He has to be a devil!"
"Was that so kind of enchanted sword? It's so sharp, and did you see the way it reflected the light?"
Ding Yuchen and his crew were hardened criminals who lived on the edge, fearless and with no regard for human life. But in that mont, they were truly, utterly terrified.
Shang Yuenong had never imagined that Lin Tang's skills could be so outrageously powerful. Shen Youling never ntioned a single word about this! Besides, his sword was obviously a rusty old antique. How could it possess such trendous power? It's simply unbelievable!
