Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 674 - 646 Assassination
Lin Tian intently observed the invisible step technique and discovered that it was systematic and that with each step taken, True Yuan flowed within it. This proved that his step technique was a Cultivation Technique structured and methodical.
There was no such thing as a perfect martial arts technique in the world. Since it was a Cultivation Technique, it must have its flaws. Lin Tian slowed down the video over and over, meticulously examining the invisible step technique. After watching repeatedly, he finally found a way to counter it.
He closed his computer, quite pleased with himself. The next step was just to wait for Wang Yuan to get a clear picture of Guo Nuting's itinerary, then he could implement his plan.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Lin Tian was getting anxious when Wang Yuan at last sent a message.
Today, Guo Nuting was heading to a meeting in Tian'an City and would pass through a street called Qinghe Street—a narrow, scarcely populated area with no imperial court departments nearby, making it an ideal place to strike.
Perfect!
Lin Tian exclaimed with delight, then immediately called Invisible to instruct him to lie in ambush on Qinghe Street and reminded him to just take one of Guo Nuting's hands, not his life!
After the call, Lin Tian changed his attire and also headed to Qinghe Street to lay in wait.
At eleven in the forenoon, Wang Yuan called Lin Tian to inform him that the target had begun to move.
Lin Tian then promptly relayed the message to Invisible: the target would soon appear.
About half an hour later, a convoy of roughly a dozen vehicles arrived in a single-file line. Each vehicle looked identical, the windows covered in a film that not only prevented outsiders from seeing inside but was also bulletproof.
Among these dozen cars, only one carried Guo Nuting; the rest likely had bodyguards.
Lin Tian activated his clairvoyant vision to check out the situation inside.
But the distance was too great and the windows too thick; Lin Tian's clairvoyance was limited and hazy, making it impossible to distinguish which car carried Guo Nuting.
However, through the blurred vision, Lin Tian could see several machine guns inside the cars, and even rocket launchers, which made him sweat for Invisible's sake.
Could he actually pull it off?
As Lin Tian worried, the first vehicle suddenly burst a tire with a loud bang.
Two bodyguards in suits swiftly emerged from inside and, upon inspection, saw the tire had been punctured by a spike on the road.
Qinghe Street was very narrow, barely allowing two vehicles to pass side by side. With a long stretch of road ahead before they could exit Qinghe Street and unable to simply push the car, the remaining vehicles had no choice but to reverse and take a detour.
Unfortunately, at that moment, a wedding procession with honking horns and suonas approached from behind—the groom was on his way to pick up his bride.
This instantly caused a jam for Guo Nuting's convoy; they could neither advance nor retreat.
Lin Tian watched coldly from behind, thinking to himself that Invisible really had some tricks up his sleeve, even bringing in a groom, and playing the part convincingly.
The groom shouted, "Hey, move ahead, quickly! I have to pick up my bride; move it, move it!"
The last vehicle in Guo Nuting's convoy quickly unloaded a few people who yelled back at the groom, "We're stuck up front. Let's reverse together, so we can get out of here."
The groom immediately retorted, "Reverse out? Look how long this street is, with so many of us, reversing will take at least half an hour."
After stating his point, he glanced at his watch, "Look, it's already eleven-forty. My bride's place is right after this street. If I reverse now, I won't be able to marry her at the Auspicious Time. Marrying a bride is very important, our horoscopes must match—it has to be done right. I don't care; you all must clear out fast. If you delay the Auspicious Time, I'll hold you accountable."
Several people from behind the groom then stepped forward to join in, exclaiming,
"Exactly, marrying a bride is a once-in-a-lifetime matter, we can't be careless. We've consulted a master and calculated our horoscopes; we must pick up the bride by noon. I don't care about you; you absolutely have to clear a path for us."
"You have so many people here, don't you? Push it out; many hands make light work, I'll help you push."

"The road ahead is long; pushing it by hand would be slower than backing up."
"Let's back it up then!"
"Push, push forward...!"
"Otherwise, we'll miss the right time!"

The crowd looked at each other, some advocating pushing forward while others insisted on backing up, starting a fierce argument without yielding!
It must be said, the new groom Clairvoyance had found really wasn't half-bad, playing his part convincingly with a strong sense of immersion, certainly not just any extra from Hengdian.
As the argument grew louder, one after another of Guo Nuting's entourage stepped out of the cars to see the situation and join in the quarrel or try to mediate.
However, there were still four cars from which no one had disembarked, and one of these, presumably, was Guo Nuting's vehicle.
As for which one, Lin Tian really didn't know; if left to him, he could only guess.
After more than a minute of arguing, the groom grew impatient and, with a punch, knocked down a bodyguard dressed in a suit.
The remaining bodyguards were furious, but bound by their rules, they didn't fight back even after being punched.
"Damn it, you're delaying my wedding! Hit them!"
The groom shouted, and his men charged in—a mix of those carrying suona horns, those holding loudspeakers, plus some wielding beer bottles, and others with bare fists—they all launched a fierce attack on the group of bodyguards.
The bodyguards, feeling incredibly wronged but under orders, couldn't fight back; they could only protect their vital spots with their hands and keep retreating.
The groom threw punches ruthlessly, leaving some of the bodyguards bloodied and battered.
At that moment, from one of the four cars, a man stepped out. He walked with an upright posture, his eyes shining with a golden light. Despite wearing a shirt, one could tell he was a strong figure, and indeed, a formidable one from the military.
He yelled, "Stop fighting, we'll push the car! Stop, stop fighting!"
He shouted desperately, but none of the groom's men listened, continuing their assault.
At this crucial moment, an incredibly fast figure made a move—it was Clairvoyance.
His target was the very car the man in the shirt had just stepped out of.
His speed was so extreme, almost ghost-like; by the time someone noticed him, he had already closed in to within twenty meters of the vehicle.
"Captain, enemy attack, enemy attack...!"
A bodyguard shouted.
The next instant, alarms blared, and the bloodied bodyguards, as if energized all at once, disregarded their injuries. They quickly drew their weapons, aiming at Clairvoyance, and opened fire in a frenzy.
The bodyguards who had remained in the vehicles all rushed out. On one hand, they protected Guo Nuting's car, and on the other, they quickly formed a defensive line, each with a weapon in hand, blocking Clairvoyance's advance.
