Chapter 267 - The Plan Begins
Chapter 267 The Plan Begins
“Fatty, don’t underestimate the enemy!”
The thin man followed closely behind like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Lin Bai’s figure. The dagger in his hand was glowing with a pale white luster. He slashed down at Lin Bai’s ribs.
Although the fatty was short and fat, his speed was astonishing. His body was nimble. He dodged to the side behind Lin Bai and kicked out a thick kick at Lin Bai’s Back! The two of them pincer-attacked from the right and the back. It could be said that they were flawless. Their coordination was just right, sealing off all of Lin Bai’s space to dodge.
It had to be known that although the skinny and fatty weren’t famous, they had formidable strength. They had relied on their flawless coordination to kill people of a higher level.
Otherwise, the City Lord and He Qingyuan wouldn’t have sent the two of them to carry out such an important mission.
In addition, the two of them were martial artists, and Lin Bai was a beastmaster. Even though Lin Bai cultivated both as a beastmaster and a martial artist, there was still a gap between him and the two of them in some aspects of actual combat.
“Heh!”
Under the tight pincer attack of the two of them, and under their fatal moves, Lin Bai laughed lightly.
When the thin man saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that the fact that they didn’t ask for reinforcements was probably the biggest mistake they had made.
However, since things had come to this point, it was useless to regret. The thin man brandished his dagger with all his might. The dagger slid down like a bolt of lightning. Even someone with a higher cultivation level than him would find it difficult to dodge!
Just as the dagger was about to cut through Lin Bai’s ribs, Lin Bai’s body twisted at a strange angle. In the end, the dagger only managed to cut through Lin Bai’s clothes. This twist also caused the fatty behind him to miss!
“Don’t be arrogant!”
Fatty shouted loudly. His first attack did not succeed, so he immediately swept out a second kick. This kick only aimed at Lin Bai’s waist.
The thin man did not dare to be careless either. He grabbed the dagger with his back hand and slashed upwards from the bottom, stabbing towards Lin Bai’s chest.
The two of them coordinated seamlessly. Even if the first attack did not hit, they did not give up. Instead, they swiftly launched the second attack.
The seamless coordination, coupled with the cold and tight attacks, could make the opponent unable to breathe. Once the opponent was distracted, that would be the opportunity for the two of them!
Lin Bai shouted softly, “Now!”
The two figures flashed, and with a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to keep up with they reached the roof.
Bang!
Fatty’s thick and strong legs were pulled out fiercely, but just as they were about to hit Lin Bai’s waist, a loud sound was heard.
Immediately after, fatty felt an intense pain coming from his calf!
One had to know that fatty had trained this pair of legs to be able to break even boulders and iron blocks. At this moment, the pain in his calf told him that he had kicked a ‘steel plate’! The thin man’s arm, which was waving halfway, stopped. No matter how hard he tried, his entire arm did not move at all!
In a battle, sometimes, with just the blink of an eye, he could put himself in a disadvantageous position, or even lose and leave the field.
How could Lin Bai miss such an opportunity? He hurriedly waved his fists and legs with all his might and smashed them at the thin man and fatty. Together with Little Black and Little Green, one tall, one short, one fat, and one thin. The two figures fell to the ground with their eyes wide open. Seeing the two fall to the ground, Little Green and Little Black moved closer to Lin Bai and blinked their sparkling eyes. “Not bad, not bad!”
With a smile on his face, Lin Bai reached out and touched the two beasts.
“However, there’s still business to attend to now. After the matter is over, I’ll satisfy you properly!” Lin Bai looked at the two people who fell to the ground and half-squatted down. The corners of his eyes and lips curved slightly.
“You, you…”
Fatty stuttered for a long time without making any sound. Lin Bai’s attack was very heavy, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
“You what?” Lin Bai directly sat on fatty’s body. “Are you sent by the City Lord and He Qingyuan? Are you here to capture me or to spy on Bai Xi?”
Lin Bai did not kill them because he wanted to get some information from the two people. Moreover, he still had a use for keeping these two people alive. “Hmph, if you want to kill us, then hurry up and do it. You demon, we have nothing to say to you! We decent people don’t care about obeying you at all. If you want to get information from us, there’s no way!”
Fatty finally took a breath. He did not give in at all and continued to scold Lin Bai angrily.
Fatty did not listen to him, but his eyes secretly glanced behind him. Not far behind him, the skinny man who was lying on the ground had a hand in his pocket, as if he was searching for something.
“Are you looking for this?”
Lin Bai took out a wooden cylinder from somewhere and waved it in front of fatty and the skinny man.
“You, when did you!”
The skinny man turned pale with fright. He quickly searched his entire body, but he could not find the wooden cylinder.
Lin Bai stepped on fatty again. “Scream, why aren’t you screaming?”
Fatty lowered his head, his face ashen.
Fatty and skinny had worked together for so many years. Most of the time, they did not need to look at each other or make any movements to know what they were going to do next.
Fatty was cursing at Lin Bai in an attempt to provoke Lin Bai to attract his attention. While he was doing that, skinny could secretly send reinforcements. After that, they only needed to think of a way to survive until reinforcements arrived!
However, they never expected that the wooden cylinder that could request for reinforcements would suddenly appear in Lin Bai’s hands.
“Little Green, well done!”
Lin Bai praised Little Green who was kneeling not too far away. Little Green revealed a smug expression when she heard that.
“Now, I’ll ask again. Who sent you here and what is your motive? Please think carefully and tell me. I’ll only ask this once!”
Turning to look at the two of them, the smile on Lin Bai’s face disappeared. He looked at the two of them expressionlessly. The fatty and the skinny man were very sure that Lin Bai would do the same.
“Don’t, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”
The skinny man quickly admitted defeat. They needed to survive first. They were only the subordinates of the City Lord and the others. They were only doing things for them to get paid. It would be foolish of them to sacrifice their lives for this!
Following that, the fatty and the skinny man told him how the City Lord and He Qingyuan requested them to guard this place. They also told Lin Bai that they did not send anyone nearby because they wanted Lin Bai to let down his guard and walk right into their trap. They told Lin Bai everything.
“Demon Lin Bai… No, brother Lin, master Lin, look at us. We are useless now. How about you be magnanimous and merciful. We promise that from now on, we will not take another step into the capital. We will never dare to go against you again!”
The fatty groaned. The arrogance in his voice had long disappeared. Instead, he was like a well-trained dog, very obedient.
“I still have some matters to attend to, but don’t worry. As long as you don’t go against me, I won’t kill you! And if you have any thoughts…”
As Lin Bai spoke, his eyes revealed a ruthless look.
“Who, who’s up there!”
At this moment, the people in the courtyard heard the commotion and came to the center of the courtyard to berate.
This was none other than Bai Xi!
