Chapter 821: Chapter 826: Sudden Upheaval (Part 1)
Zhou Yan’s words made everyone pause for a moment.
No one expected her to say that, or rather, no one thought she had the guts to say it!
Just now, it was clear that even from such a distance, the Advanced Soldier King was easily eliminated by the old man in the robe.
Now, someone like you, who hasn’t even reached the level of King of Soldiers, dares to speak to him like that!
Are you seeking death?
Even if you were a cop, filled with a sense of justice, you shouldn’t be speaking at this moment!
After all, with your capability, saying this is reckless. Even national special departments wouldn’t dare to speak like that to an Innate Powerhouse without enough strength present!
In fact, for such high-level figures committing murder, they often can’t be dealt with in the end.
Moreover, one thing is certain, Innate Powerhouses cannot be insulted, Innate Powerhouses cannot be insulted!!!
It was clear that Zhou Yan’s words just insulted the old man in the robe.
Is she relying on Lin Xi? But is Lin Xi a match for the old man in the robe? Almost everyone except Lin Xi himself believed Lin Xi was surely not a match for the old man in the robe.
At that moment, the strong aura from the old man in the robe suddenly retracted, making him look like an ordinary old man except his clothes were a bit unique.
He glanced at Zhou Yan with a flash of coldness on his face, wondering if nowadays anyone could dare to speak nonsense to him?
Is it because Innate Powerhouses have been reclusive for so long that people have forgotten the phrase "Innate Powerhouses cannot be insulted"?
So he said nothing, directly walking towards Zhou Yan.
Seeing this, Zhao Lao took a step forward to intercept the old man in the robe. Clearly, if he killed again, it would be a slap in Zhao Lao’s face.
Especially since the girl had a close relationship with Lin Xi.
If action is taken, knowing Lin Xi even slightly, Lin Xi would surely make a move.
At that point, Lin Xi most likely wouldn’t escape unharmed, and even Zhao Lao didn’t believe Lin Xi had the ability to defeat the old man in the robe.
It’s known that Zhao Lao had high hopes for Lin Xi, thinking Lin Xi would provide great assistance, which is why he agreed to invite him. But if he died just like that, it would be too worthless.
However, as he took that step, another old man in a robe also stepped forward, tightly locking onto Zhao Lao’s aura. If he moved another step, he would immediately be attacked fiercely.
Zhao Lao’s strength was already weaker than theirs, and if his back was facing another old man in a robe, his situation would become even more dangerous.
At this point, he had no choice but to stop trying to prevent the old man in the robe from approaching Zhou Yan, while looking towards Elder Zhu who was two meters away, hoping he would extend a helping hand towards Lin Xi!
Surely the old man in the robe wouldn’t start a fight with them before entering the ancient mine!
Zhao Ritian and Zhu Qi also looked at Elder Zhu, hoping he would make a move.
Otherwise, Lin Xi would be dead!
Leaving emotions aside, just based on Lin Xi having saved their lives before, they owed him an immeasurable debt.
But the Innate Powerhouse from the Zhu family snorted coldly, ignoring their pleas for help, and instead pretended to carefully study the gate of the ancient mine.
This nearly made Zhao Ritian curse; what the hell is there to study, when it’s already been cracked! At least make it look realistic!
This immediately made Zhao Lao and Zhu Qi’s faces turn ugly.
Truthfully, they knew Elder Zhu had always looked down on Lin Xi, but shouldn’t he ignore that at a critical time like this?
Will they wait until the old man in the robe’s side kills everyone else except them right in front of them?
If it truly comes to that, they’d be in danger too.
Zhou Yan watched the old man in a robe walking over and realized she had said something she shouldn’t have. What made her suddenly lose her head and act so rashly—that was definitely seeking death!
But, what are you doing, walking over silently?
Trying to assault a cop?
Zhou Yan’s head heated up again, or perhaps her sense of justice hadn’t disappeared from her heart, so she angrily shouted at the old man in the robe, "You, you, you... Stand right there! Don’t move!"
As she said this, as if the scene was being replayed, she once again took out a pair of handcuffs from her waist and tossed them forcefully onto the path the old man in the robe was walking on.
The old man in the robe: "..."
Zhao Lao and others: "..."
Almost everyone else: "..."
Her two subordinates started shaking all over and thought to themselves: Captain, did you forget something before going out today?
Lin Xi, who hadn’t spoken a word from beginning to end, suddenly sighed in the eerie silence, then stepped in front of Zhou Yan, looking at the old man in the robe who was less than fifteen meters away, and said,
"Hey, old man, didn’t you hear what my woman said?"
"Yeah, put on the gloves and crouch on the ground to await your fate!"
After saying these lines, he muttered in a normal volume, "No wonder people say it’s not that old people have turned wicked, but that wicked people have grown old!"
"Daring to kill in front of the police, such boldness!"
Once he finished saying this, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became even quieter and more terrifying.
On his side, except for Zhou Yan who angrily stared at him, everyone else looked at him with a strange expression, including Avril Jolie and Shangguan Nishang!
People from other factions also looked at him with strange or admiring expressions, thinking to themselves, "Aren’t you one of those who dare to kill in front of the police?"
"Is that you talking about yourself? Have you no shame?"
"Such thick skin!"
"And also, you really have the guts to say this, truly not afraid of death?"
But Zhao Ritian’s expression was different; besides worrying, at this moment, his admiration for Lin Xi had reached a height where Lin Xi seemed like a god to him!
A drop of cold sweat ran down Zhao Lao’s forehead as he inwardly thought it’s all over. Originally he was considering all kinds of ways to salvage the situation, but once Lin Xi said these words, there was truly no saving it!
As for Elder Zhu nearby, he snorted coldly again, thinking that anyone daring to insult an Innate Powerhouse must die!
On the old man in the robe’s side, everyone was looking at Lin Xi as if he were a dead man.
As for the old man in the robe walking towards Zhou Yan, he was truly a bit annoyed by the young man stepping in front of Zhou Yan and saying such things!
It seems like "Innate Powerhouses cannot be insulted" has been completely forgotten by society!
Well, then he’ll make sure everyone remembers it again!
The atmosphere suddenly reached a critical point of danger, and everyone could tell the old man in the robe was going to make a move.
Several girls and those close to Lin Xi became worried for him, ready to attack the old man in the robe if necessary, though it probably wouldn’t be of much help!
Then, as the old man in the robe took two steps forward, he suddenly paused, because he saw Lin Xi wasn’t even looking at him, instead staring in bewilderment at the entrance to the ancient mine.
He couldn’t help but think angrily, "At this point, and still not serious? Giving up?"
But next, he realized something was amiss because he noticed everyone around had confused, surprised, or astonished expressions and had shifted their gaze to the entrance of the ancient mine following Lin Xi.
And from behind him came his junior brother’s slightly urgent voice, "Senior brother, you’d better come back and take a look!"
