Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 572 - 571 How Are You Going to Run Now! (Third Update)

In this society ruled by money, many believed that money makes the world go round—that it could even make ghosts turn millstones! With enough money, they thought, anything was possible. Even the most beautiful, ice-cold Goddess could be conquered!

Now! Five million! For one night! Probably, very few girls could refuse such an offer!

All eyes were on Xia Shuang, their gazes filled with schadenfreude, envy, shock, and confusion, all wondering how she would respond.

SMACK!

Xia Shuang slapped Lin Tan hard across the face. Her pretty face flushed with anger, and she ground her teeth as she barked, "Get lost!"

Lin Tan froze, stunned by the slap. Then, realization dawned, and he exploded with rage. Raising his hand to strike Xia Shuang, he bellowed, "You bitch! You dare hit me? You actually dare hit me!"

Terrified by Lin Tan's ferocious expression, Xia Shuang quickly backed away, trying to dodge.

Lin Tan's eyes blazed with fury. "You bitch! Trying to run?" he yelled. "You're courting death! You're dead set on dying! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you in bed tonight!"

BEEP! BEEP!

Just then, the sharp blare of a car horn cut through the air.

Then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, a blue convertible Rolls-Royce Phantom sped towards them. It was moving fast, at least forty kilometers per hour, and showed no signs of slowing down!

CRASH!

The car slammed directly into Lin Tan, sending him flying. He crashed against a roadside garbage bin, his head splitting open and bleeding profusely. It looked as though every bone in his body might have fractured from the impact.

He lay there, half-dead.

"Qin Heng!?" Xia Shuang exclaimed. She recognized the driver; it was Qin Heng, the man she was waiting for. However, she had never expected to meet him like this!

This was way too domineering! He actually sent Lin Tan flying, leaving him half-dead!

At that instant, Xia Shuang felt a deep warmth spread through her heart. To her, it was clear that Qin Heng cared for her deeply and had only hit Lin Tan out of sheer urgency! As for Lin Tan's life or death... who would care? A degenerate like him deserved a quick death!

Qin Heng sat in the driver's seat, acting as if nothing had happened. He waved Xia Shuang over with a smile, saying, "Come on, let's go."

It was as if he hadn't just hit a person, but merely run over an ant!

The onlookers were all stunned. They stared at Qin Heng in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, their faces a mixture of disbelief and shock. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and their bodies trembled slightly, utterly astonished.

Holy shit! Holy shit! Wasn't that just too awesome? Driving a luxury sports car, hitting someone and leaving them half-dead, then acting as if nothing happened! That was too audacious!

"Young Master!" the man who had been standing beside Lin Tan cried out. He took a step forward and, in a single stride, crossed four to five meters to reach the badly injured Lin Tan.

The onlookers were stunned by this scene, utterly dumbfounded. Such incredible speed! Is this guy even human?

However, some quickly regained their composure, recalling certain public announcements. Exclamations rippled through the crowd.

"A Martial Artist! This man is a Martial Artist! Only a Martial Artist could possess such speed!"

"It's actually a Martial Artist! My god! The Lin family truly deserves its reputation as a major family of Longxi Province, to actually have a Martial Artist as a bodyguard!"

In this era, thanks to extensive government promotion, ordinary people had some understanding of Martial Artists. They knew that practitioners, especially those at the Open Force and Hidden Force levels, could occasionally be seen.

Everyone now understood the situation with Lin Tan's supposed roommate. Nominally a classmate, he was, in reality, a bodyguard.

"Young Master! I have healing medicine! Take this first!" Lin Tan's bodyguard produced a jade bottle and poured out a pill. Instantly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Merely smelling the pill's aroma made people feel invigorated and refreshed.

GULP!

Lin Tan swallowed the pill. His injuries began to heal at a visible, incredible rate. Within just a few seconds, he had completely recovered!

The man who had just been gravely injured, bloodied, and on the brink of death, had miraculously recovered after taking just one pill?

"Holy shit! What kind of pill is this? It's too amazing! Is it an Immortal Pill?"

"Unbelievable! This is simply too unbelievable! How can such Spiritual Medicine exist? My god!"

"Am I seeing things? Damn it! Did I see that wrong? Lin Tan has actually recovered? He's truly back to normal! How is this possible?"

The scene unfolding before them completely exceeded their understanding. They were all dumbstruck, almost doubting their own eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

They had some basic understanding of Martial Artists from official announcements.

But this kind of Spiritual Medicine? Bringing the dead back to life, regrowing flesh and mending bones? One pill making a nearly dead man spring back to full vitality? Has this world gone mad? How can such things be possible?

Many were still immersed in indescribable shock, feeling as if their entire worldview was shattering.

"Lin Tan is truly remarkable! His bodyguard even possesses such powerful Spiritual Medicine! How strong must this bodyguard be?"

"At the very least, he must be at the peak of Open Force, or perhaps even a grandmaster at the Hidden Force level! The kid in the Rolls-Royce is doomed. He has offended a Hidden Force Martial Artist; he's beyond help!"

"He's done for! That kid is definitely done for!"

Lin Tan stood up. His gaze was icy as he glared at Qin Heng, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Grinding his teeth, he snarled, "Little beast! Such audacity! Get down here! Get down here right now! How do you want to die, you motherfucker?"

"Young Master, I'll handle this little brat!" The bodyguard stepped in front of Lin Tan, his face grim as he stared at Qin Heng. "Little beast! You dared to lay a hand on my young master! You're courting death! You have no idea what kind of powerful figure you've offended! Black Panther, Lin Zhan! That's my name, and I will be the one to kill you!"

BANG! BANG!

Beneath Lin Zhan's feet, the floor tiles shattered, exploding into countless fragments that scattered in all directions. The onlookers were utterly horrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

Just by standing there, he shattered the floor tiles! He's really too strong!

"You're like an ant," Qin Heng said coolly, glancing indifferently at Lin Zhan, not bothering with him at all. A mere Open Force Martial Artist, too weak. He ignored Lin Zhan completely and turned to Xia Shuang. "Let's go. I'll take you to the Beijing Expo Center."

"Thinking of running? No way!" Lin Zhan roared.

Simultaneously, he leaped into the air. The onlookers saw only a blur before he landed in front of Qin Heng's Rolls-Royce Phantom, his right arm raised.

BOOM!

A deafening crash followed. Those nearby instinctively covered their ears as they saw Lin Zhan's fist heavily dent the hood of Qin Heng's Rolls-Royce.

CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK!

A few muffled sounds followed. The engine inside had been damaged by the impact, and the entire car immediately powered down.

"Little beast, let's see you try to run now!" Lin Zhan sneered, standing on the car's hood and looking down at Qin Heng with a condescending air. He snorted, "Get out, little beast! Kneel before my young master and kowtow immediately!"
