Chapter 17
Most importantly, that man is a warrior! A warrior who can manipulate battle qi, and already crossed the threshold to become a Level 2 Warrior!
“Judging by his lack of battle qi, this man must be a rookie, but why is his speed and strength so terrible? If I weren’t fast enough, I would have died under his dagger.” Looking at Lin Ling surrounded by the four men, the shotgun man was shocked and started evaluating Lin Ling’s strength.
(Here I must explain something: It doesn’t matter what attribute you increase at a time, your overall level will have an enhancement. Just that if you spend your attribute point in strength, the power obtained will be greater than the increase in speed obtained and vice versa. Also there’s something called eruption, a hidden property that only manifest itself in times of crisis and that can increase speed and power considerably)
“Brothers don’t be afraid! This youngster is only a fledgling that hasn’t seen blood yet! We can kill him!” There was a light flashing through the eyes of the shotgun man as he took out a watermelon knife. Walking towards the four men, the shotgun man stood threateningly behind the group and stared at Lin Ling, but was still unwilling to go further.
This man is obviously afraid of death. He is the sort of person who only cares about his own life without minding anything else. A complete and sinister villain.
Is this sort of person hateful? Of course is hateful, but they also tend to live more in this line of business. It is that wrong to cherish one’s life? At the end, human nature is selfish.
Sure enough, the four people heard that Lin Ling was a rookie and became less scared. With weapons in their hands they rushed towards him.
“Very well, you first go and distract him. I’ll go back to call the boss!” When the shotgun man saw the four men rushing over Lin Ling, he took the opportunity and slipped away. The four men were oblivious to this as their attention was on Lin Ling at the moment.
“Kill this man!”
“Kill!”
The sudden noise outside of his home quickly alerted Lub. There’s was no time left he could delay to pays his debt, but glancing at the figure of the little girl sitting on a chair, he thought that when the collectors break into his house and find her there, they’ll be able to find a place to sell her and gain a big sum of money. Relieved a little, Lub calmed himself and looked out of the window quietly.
Annie, who was sitting on the chair behind Lub, looked at him in disdain. Her lovely little face showing complete disregard for this insignificant street villain. Shen then stopped staring at him and lowered her gaze. There were a few things in mind.
“There is movement outside, it must be big brother who came to save me! Looks like big brother still cares about Annie!” Smiling sweetly at the thought, Annie watched the closed entrance, looking forward to the moment when Lin Ling would enter valiantly at her rescue.
Annie is like the princess caught by bad guys, and Lin Ling is like the knight saving the princess. After surviving through a series of difficulties, the knight would save the princess and from then on, the two lived together forever.
In her mind, Annie went through the script of how Lin Ling would defeat his enemies and save her like a princess.
But unfortunately, Lin Ling doesn’t know that because of Annie’s princess dream he was about to face a terrible enemy. Right now, he is working hard to deal with the four enemies in front of him, and he must also guard against the three enemies he defeated before, not knowing when they’ll suddenly stand up and stab him with a knife.
The short dagger turned into a blur in the hand of Lin Ling. Its sharp blade easily cutting the weapons in the hands of the four men.
For a moment, everyone was frightened by Lin Ling who just broke their weapons with a move of his hand.
Putting the hand holding the dagger in front of him, Lin Ling looked at the four people and still dared to step forward. He has gained a certain understanding of his strength. If he had no weapon then things wouldn’t go this smoothly, but now with the dagger Annie gave him he can make this four people afraid only by its sharpness. And now that these four people are afraid of him, the danger has reduced considerably. Now he can deal with them!
If he were to attack any of them in the head or the heart, they will surely die. Lin Ling knows this point, and although he finds killing people disgusting, for Annie, he will not hesitate to do so!
The dagger in his hand moved as if it were alive, and like a snake, stabbed the heart of the man closest to Lin Ling. Lin Ling could not believe his own precision.
This must be the passive effect of [Mortal Strike]! Lin Ling at this time was just like a swordsmaster tempered through years of battle!
This was also the case for the previous strikes which appeared disorganized but had an unique lethality.
Cutting the places where the defense of the enemy is the weakest and the spots where is easier to attack with a weapon.
The three remaining men were shocked by the sudden change in the situation. When Lin Ling attacked the previous individuals he always used his fist or the handle of the dagger to solve them. That’s why they were confident in facing Lin Ling who wasn’t using lethal force, but now the situation has changed!
Lin Ling’s momentum went through a sudden increase, and his eagle-like eyes stared at the remaining three people like a predator looking at his prey. A flash of golden light flashed through his eyes, and without hesitation, Lin Ling cut open the stomach of another person.
Blood flowed out of the wound inflicted by his dagger, but Lin Ling was unfazed as the blood covered his hand. With a swift movement, he pulled out the dagger from the stomach of the screaming man, and with a horizontal movement, the dagger draw a beautiful arc in the air as it slashed the throat of the unlucky thug.
Watching his own throat being cut by Lin Ling’s dagger, the showed a panic-stricken expression. Covering his neck with both hands he tried to block the blood from flowing out, but everything was in vain as he slowly died.
The two remaining people turned their heads and looked at each other, seeing a glimpse of fear in each other’s eyes. However, when they wanted to consult with the shotgun man, they discovered that the latter was already running far off in the distance.
“Run!” At this point, that was the only word in the minds of these two men.
