Chapter 88: Chaotic Streets!
He ran all the way forward, and after running a thousand meters, Lin Tian's breathing became slightly urgent!
The black city wall, the blood-red city gate, gave Lin Tian a sense of oppression. Standing under the 30-40 meter high city gate, he only felt how small he was! "Life and death are determined by fate, the strong are revered!" On the two blood-red giant blades were eight pitch-black large characters. The left blade read "the strong are revered" and the right blade read "life and death are determined by fate". The font was similar to Chinese characters, Lin Tian had received language information from Little Lin, so he naturally recognized the characters!
Next to the huge gate is a small door about three or four meters high. Normally, the big gate is not opened, and everyone enters and exits through that small door!
"Brother, you look very familiar!" said a scar-faced man standing by the gate with a smile, but Lin Tian saw that the smile was fake and replied indifferently: "With so many people in Shengsi City, if you knew them all, you wouldn't be guarding the main gate!" The scar-faced man's face turned red and white, this gate-keeping job wasn't very glorious after all!
Too lazy to care about the scars on his face, Lin Tian entered the city, feeling the omnipresent killing intent in the air. The desire for battle suddenly ignited within him, which was a bit unusual as Lin Tian was usually able to control his fighting desires calmly!
"Xiao Ling, how did you come back?! Why do I suddenly have such a strong desire to fight?!"
"Master, it's because of the influence of this environment and also because your power suddenly increased and you can't fully control yourself," said Xiao Ling. Lin Tian nodded slightly, as long as he knew the reason: "Xiao Ling, how long will it take for me to fully control my own power?"
"If the master doesn't do anything and just stands here, it's impossible to adapt in even ten days or half a month. If he trains, it might take three or four days. But if it's battle, one or two days is enough! The more the master uses his strength, the faster he adapts!"
"Ugh, I'm really not a troublemaker, but now in order to quickly adapt to the new powers, I have no choice but to stir up some trouble. Xiao Ling, other people won't have high-tech guns, right?! If we're fighting and suddenly get shot and killed, that would be so frustrating!" Lin Tian said.
"Hehe, well, Master, all I can do is wish you good luck. In the City of Life and Death, high-tech guns are extremely rare, but not non-existent. However, those are usually in the hands of major powers. Master, it's better for you to pick on the weak ones!"
"Is there also power here?"
"Master, your question is quite silly. Don't you know that where there are people, there's a world of its own? Where there are people, there's power at play. In the City of Life and Death, there are four kings: the Eastern King, Western King, Southern King, and Northern King. The four kings' powers are evenly matched, occupying about 80% of the city. The remaining 20% is taken up by smaller forces. Master, you're currently on the Eastern King's turf, so it's best not to stir up trouble here. If you head down this street for a thousand meters and turn left at the third intersection, you'll find a gathering place for small forces - that's a great spot to cause some trouble!"
Lin Tian nodded, since this was the territory of Dong Wang, one of the four largest land snakes, he naturally couldn't afford to cause trouble. Lin Tian had some self-awareness, and with his current strength, there were countless people under Dong Wang who were stronger than him. Moreover, as one of the four largest land snakes, Dong Wang must have access to advanced technology weapons. Lin Tian's Lingbo Micro Steps could dodge bullets, but if he said he could dodge laser beams, no one would probably believe it!
The streets under the jurisdiction of Dong Wang are actually quite safe, with very few people daring to cause trouble here. If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the street is armed and exuding a strong murderous aura, Lin Tian would have thought this was a relatively normal city district!
"Master, I suggest you release your killing intent, otherwise others will think you're easy to bully!" Xiao Ling said in Lin Tian's mind. Lin Tian's mouth slightly curved up: "Then let them come and bully me, isn't it better if someone comes looking for trouble on their own?"
"Ah, master, you're so bad!" Xiao Ling chuckled. Lin Tian was speechless, he didn't believe that Xiao Ling didn't know, and deliberately let him say it out loud, then mock him again, which was probably Xiao Ling's goal!
Lin Tian led the way, with over a dozen people quietly following behind him, slowly heading towards the district that Xiao Ling had mentioned. The faces of those who followed were all smiling, and it was indeed true that they were waiting for an opportunity to strike. If they stayed in the East King's domain, they wouldn't dare make a move, but once they entered this chaotic district, wouldn't they be able to bully someone like Lin Tian who didn't even have any killing intent? Hmm, or perhaps playing with chrysanthemums and selling them to a duck store was a good idea. However, over a dozen people seemed too many! Those dozen people also raised their guard against each other, thinking that Lin Tian must be a newcomer, and newcomers usually don't have anything good on them. But old hands, on the other hand, can often get quite a bit of loot after killing someone.
Lin Tian still didn't know that those guys had already set their sights on his chrysanthemum, otherwise he would have turned around and fought them to the death before even reaching the chaotic streets!
Chaotic streets, Lin Tian had just arrived here and understood what chaos meant. Within twenty meters in front of him, within ten seconds, a living person was hacked into a pile of minced meat by more than a dozen knife-wielding thugs. One of the knife-wielding thugs even skewered a large piece of thigh meat on his knife, looking like he was preparing to roast it for a midnight snack!
"Everyone, I don't know what you've been following me for so long," Lin Tian suddenly turned around and said coldly. "What's the matter?" A bald-headed man laughed loudly, "You're so delicate and tender, of course we want to mess with you! It's been a long time since we've played with someone as fine as you, it's really nostalgic!"
Lin Tian's heart was filled with a chill, and he cursed loudly: "I'll screw you to death, you bald-headed freak! If I don't beat you to the point of near-death today, my surname isn't Lin!" "Screw? That's a great word! We can screw each other, haha!" The bald-headed man didn't care about Lin Tian's threats at all. In his eyes, someone with no killing intent whatsoever was far too inferior to be considered a top-notch fighter.
The desire for battle ignited, Lin Tian's feet moved swiftly, and he rapidly swept towards the bald man. His right palm rose, gathering strength, and a knife-like hand chop struck down at the bald man's neck. The bald man was no ordinary person either, raising his left arm to block Lin Tian's descending right palm!
"Ah!" A heaven-shaking scream erupted, and the bald man's left arm was chopped off by Lin Tian's palm knife. The severed left arm flew high into the air, and the people chasing after Lin Tian were all stunned. Was this really a woman? How could she be so ruthless with just one move?!
Cutting off someone's hand with a knife, they've done it many times, not to mention heads, who knows how many they've cut off, but using their hands, this seems to be somewhat difficult, cutting off someone's arm with a palm, this is not something an ordinary person can do!
"Everyone goes up together, otherwise no one will have a good time!" Another person saw Lin Tian's eyes scanning over and shouted loudly. "Come and die for me!" The bald-headed man was tough, although he let out a loud cry of pain at first, but immediately gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife to swing it towards Lin Tian!
Lin Tian's foot stepped on the Lingbo micro-step, and his blood-stained right palm slammed onto the bald big man's right wrist. "Crack!" A crisp sound, and the bald big man's right hand bone was shattered by Lin Tian in an instant! As for his current physical strength, Lin Tian had already gained a preliminary understanding of it, and it was simply a personal killing machine!
His hand bones shattered, and the bald man's knife fell to the ground. Lin Tian was furious at his initial rudeness, so he kicked out with his right foot, directly targeting the bald man's crotch! This time, even the bald man's thick nerves couldn't withstand it, and he let out a blood-curdling scream, doubling over in pain and rolling around on the ground.
The people around him were all chilled in their hearts, and some even subconsciously covered their lower bodies with both hands! His right hand was stained with fresh blood, Lin Tian shook it off with disgust, snatched a white shirt from a young man and cleaned the blood off a bit. In that instant when he wiped his hands, no one dared to attack him!
"Come on, are your guts only as big as a needle tip?! Lin Tian sneered and swung his fist at the next person. This time, he was going to hold back a bit, after all, he was here to train himself to control his power. If he killed these people with just a few blows, he would have to find someone else to spar with! Controlling one's power meant not only achieving maximum killing potential but also avoiding harm to others."
Lin Tian walked through the crowd of over ten people, each of whom gave him a light or heavy punch that made them feel extremely painful but wouldn't cause too much harm. "This kid is fooling us, let's show our true strength!" A dark-skinned guy roared, holding two sharp knives in his hands and stabbing at Lin Tian!
The chaotic battle unfolded, and as time passed, Lin Tian gradually adapted to his newly acquired powers. With a few swift moves, he could inflict unimaginable pain on those who dared to approach him with minimal effort. Such a fierce battle was bound to attract attention, but initially, no one intervened because Lin Tian still had over ten guys whose strength hadn't been depleted yet. At that time, joining in would have meant risking being taken advantage of by others. However, now that Lin Tian was the only one left standing strong, while the other ten or so were on their last legs, it seemed like a good opportunity to strike and gain an advantage!
"Take them down, this is the chaotic district, it's our Tiger Head Gang's territory!" About twenty knife-wielding men rushed out of a house. "Shameless, when did this become your Tiger Head Gang's territory? I said this was our Snake Gang's territory!" Another twenty or so knife-wielding men rushed over from afar!
"It seems you're no longer of any use!" Lin Tian coldly swept his gaze over the guys who were still surrounding him but didn't dare to move.
