Chapter 19: Xiao Su's Flying Dagger, No Misses

  Su Nan was not in a hurry, and he had Da Hei to deal with Yuan Lin. Su Nan believed that Da Hei would eventually choose to oppose Yuan Lin for the sake of his own arm. Therefore, there was no need for him to stand directly opposite Yuan Lin now.

  At present, whether Yuan Lin and others agree to help him or not, his face will definitely be lost. If they don't agree, the audience below will look down on him immediately. Even if they agree, with their experience, suddenly seeing knives and whips flying towards them, it's hard not to be afraid. Since they are already afraid, can their image still be saved?

  "Ahhh~~"

  "Coward! You're scared!"

  "You're scared now? What kind of man are you? Hurry back home and drink your mother's milk!"

  Seeing Yuan Lin give up, the audience below erupted in a chorus of boos and jeers. Many onlookers had long been displeased with Yuan Lin, this rich second-generation heir, and now that they had finally found an opportunity to vent their emotions while hiding in the crowd without fear of being exposed, they naturally let it all out.

  The host was also unwilling to let Yuan Lin leave, and stretched out his hand to block Yuan Lin's face. "Yuan Lin, you promised Su Nan earlier that you would be his assistant. Now you're thinking of giving up, isn't this too untrustworthy?"

  Yuan Lin's face turned red, knowing that he had performed too poorly. But what could be done about it? Compared to his own life, losing face was nothing.

  "Host, we didn't know that Sunan's performance would be so dangerous when we agreed to it. Given his condition, what if he doesn't do well during the performance and something goes wrong, causing us harm? Can you take responsibility for this?"

  "This..." The host hesitated for a moment. Although he really wanted to make Yuan Lin lose face, but if something unexpected happened, he really couldn't afford to take responsibility for it.

  Su Nan chuckled and walked over, "Yuan Lin, don't worry, I wouldn't dare perform if there was a risk of an accident. Of course, if you're still feeling scared, I can use chalk instead of flying knives, that way you should be able to feel at ease."

  "Alright." Yuan Lin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. They had already gone on stage, and running away now would avoid any potential harm, but it would also ruin their reputation and make it difficult to hold their heads up high again at school. If they really went through with Su Nan's plan of using chalk to perform, even if they made a mistake, it would only hurt for a moment, and by then, Yuan Lin would be the hero, while Su Nan would become a laughing stock.

  Wang Liang and Zhao Jun had originally planned to step down with Yuan Lin, as they were also afraid. Now that Yuan Lin has agreed to come down, the two of them do not dare to move again, but their facial expressions are still terrified and uneasy.

  Su Nan picked up the apple and placed it on Yuan Lin's head and palm again, giving him a strange smile before retreating backwards.

  The host was excitedly explaining loudly, stirring up the emotions of the audience. "Everyone, today we are about to witness a special talent show that most or all of us have never seen before. That is, our friend Su Nan is going to bring us his flying knife skills. Of course, in consideration of the safety of our assistant Yuan Lin, Su Nan suggested using chalk instead of flying knives. I'm sure this suggestion might be slightly disappointing for those who like excitement. Actually, Su Nan just said that even if he used flying knives, there would absolutely be no accidents, but to take care of Yuan Lin's feelings, let's just lower our expectations a bit and watch a mountain-strong version of the flying knife performance!"

  The host over there kept talking non-stop, and in his words, he was directly pointing at Yuan Lin's cowardice, which almost made Yuan Lin furious. But now that he had to agree to let Su Nan use the flying knife, he really didn't dare, so he could only endure it for now and wait for an opportunity to get back at him later.

  "Are you ready?" Su Nan grasped a few pieces of chalk and stood ten meters away from Yuan Lin, his eyes fixed intently on Yuan Lin, his piercing gaze sharper than a knife.

  When seen by Su Nan, Yuan Lin felt a chill in his heart for no reason. Even though he knew that he was using chalk to shoot apples, he still felt scared. Even if he wouldn't get hurt, once hit by the chalk, it would still be painful for himself. He really didn't know why he agreed to help him perform, knowing that he had ill intentions.

  On top of his head was an apple, Yuan Lin couldn't nod, and resentfully shouted a sentence, "If you want to perform, hurry up, what's the point of being so slow?"

  "Alright, I'm starting. Don't move carelessly, or you'll get hurt and don't blame me!" As he spoke, Su Nan's wrist flicked, and a pink chalk shot out. Even with the eyes, it was impossible to track its trajectory, only seeing a white shadow.

  "Plop!" The chalk hit the apple that Yuan Lin was holding in his left hand. Not only did it hit, but it also drilled a hole into the apple, and the entire piece of chalk went into the belly of the apple.

  "Bang!" The apple fell from Yuan Lin's hand and rolled onto the ground.

  "Everyone come and see!" The host ran over, picked up the apple and held it up in the air to show everyone, excitedly shouting non-stop.

  "Ah?!"

  The audience who saw this scene all screamed.

  Master!

  This is everyone's impression. If a knife were to stab into the apple, it wouldn't surprise these people at all. But now, what has pierced the apple's belly is just a pencil lead. It's precisely this pencil lead that, even from ten meters away, can still pierce through the apple - this truly makes one feel incredulous.

  Others were amazed, but Yuan Lin's heart had already sunk to the bottom. This is still not letting people live, originally thought that without flying knives there would be no danger, but now he knew that in the eyes of a master, every flower and leaf can hurt people's lives. What kind of chalk is this, it's simply a knife that kills people.

  Yuan Lin's body began to shake violently. "Su Nan, I won't help you with the performance anymore, hurry up and stop it, don't shoot again!"

  Yuan Lin tried his best to take down the apple on top of his head and throw away the one in his right hand, but now his body was as if it had been cast a spell, unable to move at all except for trembling.

  "Su Nan, don't shoot anymore!" Yuan Lin's voice was trembling with a sob, almost begging Su Nan. A string of water droplets flowed out along his pant leg, and the smell quickly spread across the stage. The host, for dramatic effect, pinched his nose, took two steps back, but his eyes were fixed on Yuan Lin's pants.

  Someone discovered an abnormality in the host's behavior and pursued it into the past. Soon, the news that Yuan Lin was so scared that he urinated his pants spread quickly throughout the venue.

  In fact, Sunan's shot was also intentional. If he had hit the apple on Yuan Lin's head first, even if Yuan Lin knew that the chalk could penetrate the apple, he wouldn't be too afraid, after all, his hand was injured, it would only hurt for a moment, and it would be easy to cure.

  But now there's still an apple on his head, and if Su Nan shoots a bit off target, with that force, the chalk might just drill into his brain, which would be like getting shot in the head. Imagining a huge hole being punched into his own skull, how could Yuan Lin possibly calm down?

  "Look out, here it comes!" Su Nan shouted loudly, and the chalk in his hand flew out like a bullet.

  "Plop!" The chalk fell to the ground with an apple.

  "Thud!" Yuan Lin sat back and landed on his buttocks on the floor.

  The apple on his head was gone, and Yuan Lin was like a prisoner who had been released from his shackles, his body regained its ability to move, but because of panic, all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and he could no longer stand up.

  "Good!"

  "Too awesome!"

  The audience below didn't care about Yuan Lin at all, they stared at the two apples pierced by chalk in the host's hand and screamed loudly. The scene was filled with applause like a tidal wave, and no other sound could be heard.

  It took several minutes for the scene to calm down in the host's hoarse shouting.

  "How was Sunan's performance, everyone?"

  "Good!"

  "How was Su Nan's performance?"

  "Excellent!"

  "Another one? Want it?"

  "I want!"

  After stirring up the on-site emotions again, the host finally pulled Su Nan over and said, "Su Nan, your performance is simply brilliant. Such a great show can only be performed once, we are not satisfied with just one. You should perform another one for us!"

  Su Nan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I actually prepared two programs. One is the flying knife skill that was just performed, and the other is the flying whip extinguishing candles."

  "Oh, no wonder you brought the candle earlier. We were all wondering what you were going to do with it. Now that you've explained it, I think I understand. Are you going to use a whip to extinguish the flame?" The host looked enlightened and helped Su Nan introduce the program.

  "Wow! This program is also wonderful, using a whip to extinguish flames, this is also a divine skill!"

  The audience below heard Su Nan and the host sing a duet, introducing the program after which they all discussed it. They all felt that being able to see these two programs made tonight's evening show worthwhile.

  "I also hope you two can help out." Su Nan looked at Wang Liang and Zhao Jun, smiling as he spoke to them.

  "Huh?"

  Upon hearing Su Nan's words, Wang Liang and Zhao Jun's faces suddenly turned pale. "Su Nan, you'd better find someone else to help you, we're afraid we can't help you."

  Su Nan didn't care what they said, and directly took the candle over, placing it on their hands. "You just need to hold it, don't worry, you won't get hurt." After speaking, his hand stretched towards his waist, and when he pulled it back, Su Nan's hand already had a long whip in it.

  The wrist shook, the whip spun in a circle in mid-air, and then stretched into a straight line. "Crack!" A sharp sound shook everyone's eardrums in the field.

  "No!"

  Wang Liang and Zhao Jun stood there, their arms stretched out, holding candles, their bodies trembling, shouting loudly. But they were just like Yuan Lin earlier, although their bodies were shaking, they didn't dare move a single step except to speak. If they didn't move or nothing happened, it would be fine, but if they really moved, they would be whipped again, how unjust would that be?

  "No!" The two cried out again in unison.

  Su Nan ignored their shouts and with a flick of his wrist, "crack" went the whip.
