Chapter 1165: You're About Done Too
"What?"
Hao Jian's cold laughter made Lian Yong's face change slightly. His eyes flickered as he glanced around at the other guests. A flash of inspiration hit him, and he said to Hao Jian, "What did you say, I... I don't understand..."
"Don't understand?"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian sneered, his hand suddenly reaching out and gripping Lian Yong's neck, coldly saying, "Now do you understand?!"
"You... you can't..."
With Hao Jian's hand on his neck, Lian Yong's face slowly turned red. Enduring the pain in his throat, he still managed to speak: "There are so many people here, aren't you... aren't you afraid they'll call the police?!"
"Idiot."
Hearing Lian Yong's words, Hao Jian shook his head. Lian Yong was merely trying to make him bear the public pressure, but unfortunately, he didn't understand Hao Jian, nor did he understand Hao Jian's strength, and he certainly didn't understand the mindset of the outsiders here.
Perhaps it was Lian Yong's remark that made Hao Jian subconsciously glance at those outsiders, realizing that none of them showed an indignant expression because he hit Lian Yong. Instead, they appeared relieved, most notably the barbecue stall owner, who was the most excited.
His face was flushed, his hands clenched tightly as he mumbled under his breath, hit him, hit him!
Seeing this, it became clear that Lian Yong was not accepted by these people, or rather, they were oppressed by him.
"Forget it, I'll just deal with you, I don't have time to waste."
Shaking his head, Hao Jian couldn't be bothered to waste words with Lian Yong. With a slight tremor of his hand, he easily tossed Lian Yong aside, clapped his hands, and was about to leave.
Even if these guests did misunderstand and called the police, he wouldn't care, because in Hua City, no one could handle him.
"Kid, stop right there!"
As Hao Jian was about to head back, an angry shout suddenly came from behind him. A cold curve formed at the corner of his mouth as he turned his head slightly to see Lian Yiqin wielding a small knife, rushing straight at him.
"Naive."
Taking slow strides, he ignored Lian Yiqin, heading directly towards Lin Qingxue. Behind him, Lian Yiqin saw Hao Jian's disregard, anger flashing in his eyes. Having never been treated so dismissively before, even his venerated brother never ignored him and always took care of him!
But now? This skinny guy, who had seemed so weak, unexpectedly displayed great strength and dealt with them in an instant. His brother was even insulted by him.
And now he was being ignored, all of this combined pushed him to the brink of losing his mind, his hand gripping the concealed switchblade tightly.
He had to teach this guy a lesson and let him know that the five of them were not to be trifled with, even if they couldn't win, they had to at least take a piece of him!
At the same time, he had to avenge his brother! Although he sometimes appeared not to care about Lian Yong, Lian Yong was still his brother, and since he started mingling in this world, his brother had saved him more than three times!
Because of this heavy debt, he had changed his surname to match Lian Yong's. Both of them were orphans, and there was also the reason of gratitude.
"Yiqin, no! You're not his match!"
Hao Jian's casual toss hadn't used much force, only causing Lian Yong to nearly lose his breath. When he finally recovered, he saw his brother preparing to fight that guy alone, and his face changed drastically, shouting anxiously.
"Brother, I must avenge you! This guy actually insulted you!"
Lian Yiqin completely ignored Lian Yong's shout, saying to him, then focusing his gaze tightly on Hao Jian, letting out a cold snort, "Skinny guy, don't think we're easy to mess with, today the knife in my hand will show you my prowess!"
"Oh? Then I must see for myself."
Shaking his head, Hao Jian sneered. He neither knew nor cared about the relationship between Lian Yiqin and Lian Yong. Anyone who dared to covet Lin Qingxue was his enemy.
"Hmph!"
Lian Yiqin snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with ferocity. With a low growl, clutching the switchblade, when five steps from Hao Jian, he suddenly advanced, thrusting the blade towards Hao Jian's chest. Interestingly, he aimed for the right side and not the left heart, presumably knowing he shouldn't take a life.
"Let me show you my might!"
Seeing that he was only three steps away from Hao Jian, yet there was no reaction from him, a look of delight appeared on Lian Yiqin's face as he internally sneered, stepping forward again until he was just two steps away!
Just a little more, and I'll let him know my strength!
"Sigh..."
When there was only a step away, a sigh suddenly echoed in Lian Yiqin's mind. It was this sound that made his eyes flash with a touch of clarity, and precisely this clarity that suddenly revealed his look of terror!
"How is that possible?!"
His vision suddenly went dark, and then he lost consciousness again. This time, Hao Jian wouldn't let him regain consciousness. Looking at Lian Yiqin at his feet, Hao Jian shook his head and softly said, "If not for the fact that you aimed the blade at other parts of my body instead of my vital points, based on this alone, you should have gone to see King Yan."
The low voice lingered in the vicinity as Hao Jian raised his head, glanced at the still-conscious Lian Yong, and sneered, "I'll let you guys go this time..."
"Kid, you don't need to say anything! You... let go of my brother!"
Hao Jian's words were only halfway through when Lian Yong, enduring the pain, struggled to get up, glared angrily at Hao Jian, and shouted, "Today... today I must show you our power! I must avenge my brother!"
"You guys, get up!"
After speaking, Lian Yong turned his gaze directly to the three subordinates lying on the ground behind him and commanded in a low voice. It seemed that he knew these three individuals hadn't truly passed out.
"Boss... boss!"
Upon hearing Lian Yong's shout, Tao Ru and the other two who were previously lying there opened their eyes abruptly and then supported each other. Enduring the pain caused by Hao Jian's blows, they got up. But their physical condition was clearly not as good as Lian Yong's; they stood crookedly once they managed to rise.
Lian Yong also noticed this situation and immediately frowned, coldly barking, "Useless!"
"Looks like I was too easy on them..."
Seeing these guys stand up one after another, Hao Jian's eyes showed helplessness. He thought they would realize his power and flee after being knocked out briefly. Who knew these gangsters were unlike ordinary ones, still wanting to charge forward and shouting to avenge their brother?!
Are these guys really gangsters?!
"But in a way, it's good. At least it taught me that showing mercy to certain people doesn't work."
Softly muttering, Hao Jian's eyes flashed, and a faint aura suddenly spread from his body, a chilling breath gradually enveloping his surroundings.
Originally pitch-black, like the starry sky, his eyes mysteriously bloomed with a faint blue hue. This faint blue carried a chilling aura that, with a slight blink, dispersed cold air that dissipated in mid-air.
At this moment, Hao Jian was furious...
Being repeatedly provoked by these petty gangsters, Hao Jian's pride was somewhat bruised. If Spice Ginger knew about this, he'd surely laugh at him.
Moreover, if his brothers saw the former God of Death being humiliated by a few gangsters, who knows if they'd confront him directly.
"Attack!"
Just as swiftly, within a breath or two, after seeing the three stabilize themselves, Lian Yong roared and led the charge at Hao Jian. Seeing their boss rush forward, how could Tao Ru and the others not follow?
As Lian Yong and the other three charged, Hao Jian's half-closed eyes abruptly opened. With his eyes fully open, a faint blue energy imperceptible to the naked eye spread in an arc from between his pupils, eventually directly shrouding over Lian Yong and the other three!
"Boom boom boom!"
For some reason, Lian Yong suddenly felt his legs were no longer under his control, directly kneeling down, and his upper body, uncontrollable, fell forward.
"What... what did you do?!"
Kneeling on the ground, Lian Yong looked in horror at Hao Jian, whose face was indifferent. At this moment, he couldn't muster any strength, feeling as though his entire body was pressed by a thousand-pound boulder, making it hard to breathe. This feeling was not only humiliating but also terrifying and shocking.
After saying this, Lian Yong glanced at his three subordinates, and his heart was even more horrified. The three were all unconscious, with expressions still carved on their faces as before. This impression was as if their brains couldn't react before they were dealt with!
"Oh? You're still awake?"
Seeing that even using less than one-tenth of his killing intent couldn't put Lian Yong down, Hao Jian showed a surprised expression but chuckled and shook his head, "But you're almost done..."
"What?"
Hao Jian's cryptic remark left Lian Yong puzzled, and his face immediately showed confusion. But in the next moment, his head slowly slammed down onto the ground, his face still bearing that confusion...
"I said, how could less than one-tenth of my killing intent not even handle a few small gangsters?"
Seeing Lian Yong finally fall, Hao Jian's previously indifferent expression showed a hint of smile. Ignoring the five fallen, he turned around and walked towards Lin Qingxue.
This time, it took him half a minute, and Lin Qingxue was still lying on the table. What if she caught a cold? He needed to get her back to school quickly or she wouldn't make it through the school gates.
