Chapter 800: Chapter 772: Caught in One’s Own Trap
"She’s nothing but a cheap woman! I saw with my own eyes, this man, coming out of Gu Yue’s room."
Liu Zhenchuan pointed at Gu Yue and roared, striking Gu Yue’s sore spot and causing her to shed bitter tears.
After these words, Gu Yue’s neighbors and villagers all began to gossip, pointing and whispering about Lin Tian and Gu Yue.
In their eyes gleamed a sliver of contempt.
A woman stepped out from the crowd and pointed at Lin Tian and Gu Yue, shouting angrily.
"You shameless pair, especially you, Gu Yue, having no morals, bringing a man into your bed before marriage, have you no shame?"
Gu Yue hung her head low, holding back the tears that flowed recklessly.
Gu Yue’s father, red-faced with embarrassment, although he understood the situation, couldn’t deny that Lin Tian had indeed come out of Gu Yue’s bedroom that day, and he couldn’t explain it away.
Liu Zhenchuan, seeing everyone’s reaction, smirked victoriously, then turned his hostility towards Lin Tian, pointing and cursing at him.
"Him, Lin Tian, as the son-in-law of the Gu Family, not only took Gu Yue to bed, but today, he also comes here to fool around with women, a shameless villain, a lecher."
"Have you said enough!"
At this moment, Lin Tian spoke calmly. Liu Zhenchuan was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lin Tian, only to suddenly discover that the ropes tied around Lin Tian had somehow come undone.
"How... how did you break free from the ropes!"
Liu Zhenchuan broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively stepping back with wide eyes filled with shock and fear.
Lin Tian stood up, tossing the ropes aside, and smiled, "You think these flimsy ropes can hold me."
"Don’t move!"
Bian San aimed his handgun at Lin Tian and bellowed angrily.
His men, over thirty strong, drew their machetes in unison, blades all pointed towards Lin Tian.
Anger quickly turned into heavy tension, and the room filled with a deadly silence.
Gu Yue and her father, trembling with fear, quickly backed into a corner, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Lin Tian cast a sidelong glance at Bian San, eyeing the dark muzzle of the gun, but he was utterly unafraid.
He declared, "I don’t care who you are, from today onwards, Qi Dao Street will no longer bear your name."
"Hahaha...!"
Bian San laughed uproariously.
A lackey, armed with a knife, stepped forward and shouted, "Boy, where did you get the guts to talk to Third Master like that? On Qi Dao Street, Third Master is the king!"
Hmph!
Lin Tian sneered, "Without a tiger in the mountains, the monkey calls himself king. When I wasn’t here, he was the king; now that I’m here, he’s less than a worm!"
After speaking, he shot out a beam of True Yuan like a bullet, striking the talking lackey’s right arm so fiercely that it was completely crippled.
Everyone was shocked, their jaws dropping. No one expected Lin Tian to be so ruthless. With the gun just two meters in front of him, at this moment he still dared to strike someone.
Liu Zhenchuan had seen Lin Tian’s capabilities before and yelled, "Third Master, shoot quickly! This kid’s got some skills, don’t waste words on him, shoot and kill him!"
Bian San, without another word, showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Kid, you think you’re tough? Go be tough with the King of Hell!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, echoing around them, as Bian San unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
Gu Yue flinched, quickly closing her eyes, unwilling to witness what was to come.
In contrast, Liu Zhenchuan was thrilled. With Lin Tian dead, he could do as he pleased with the Gu Family.
A two-meter shot would surely kill him; even a special forces soldier couldn’t escape.
But Lin Tian had no intention of fleeing.
In fact, he didn’t so much as move.
He exhaled a mouthful of True Yuan, creating a vortex the size of a ping pong ball.
The bullet struck the True Yuan hard.
Then, the bullet was held in place.
The crowd was astounded, all staring at Lin Tian, wondering what had happened. The bullet was held in place—he hadn’t died!
Gu Yue sensed something was amiss, opened her eyes, and saw Lin Tian, unharmed, smiling as radiantly as a blooming flower.
"What?"
"How did this happen?"
"He didn’t die."
"Is he even human?"
Bian San was taken aback and began to retreat while simultaneously pulling the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He fired three bullets in quick succession, all aimed at Lin Tian’s head.
"Stop!"
With one word from Lin Tian, all three bullets were suspended in midair.
One word halted three bullets.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
"This isn’t a human, this is a god, an Immortal!"
Lin Tian sneered coldly, speaking indifferently, "These four bullets, were fired by you, now I’m returning them to you."
He extended a finger and lightly tapped, the four bullets simultaneously turned around, as if alive, each following a different trajectory, and struck Bie San in each of his limbs.
A scream of agony directly came through, and Bie San fell to the ground with a thud, his limbs completely useless.
Lin Tian commanded, "Everyone kneel down. After three seconds, anyone still standing will have their legs broken by me."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
After the count of three, all thirty people had knelt down, including Gu Yue and her father.
The ones still standing were six in number, one of which was Liu Zhenchuan.
He was shaking all over, clearly scared out of his wits, forgetting to kneel.
"I gave you a chance, you didn’t seize it, so don’t blame me for being merciless now!"
With a sweep of his finger, True Yuan converged at his fingertips into six streams of Blade Qi, cutting off the legs of the six standing individuals all at once.
This was the Ten Thousand Swords Seal, but using it on them was a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Cries of agony rose and fell in succession.
Lin Tian turned a deaf ear to all of this.
He slowly approached Gu Yue, took her hand, and her father’s hand, speaking slowly, "You are my life-saving benefactors, not like them, there’s no need for you to kneel."
He helped both of them up. Gu Yue was alright, she gifted Lin Tian with a beautiful smile, but her father’s whole body shivered, petrified by Lin Tian.
Lin Tian turned his head, a foot stomping down on Bie San’s body, and said, "Recount the whole story, without stopping and without any omissions, and remember, stick to the facts, not a thread or a hair less. Should you dare to lie, you will bear the consequences."
"I’ll speak, I’ll speak...!"
Bie San, regardless of his pain, began to confess earnestly, "Yesterday, Liu Zhenchuan came to me, said he wanted to set you up with a Con Trick. He was going to invite the entire neighborhood of Gu Yue’s community to ruin Gu Yue’s reputation and to kill you as revenge for him."
Having said this, Lin Tian looked at Gu Yue, showing an expression as if to say: Look, I’m a good person, I’m innocent!
Gu Yue smiled beautifully, thrilled to death inside.
Then, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the woman in black gauze. The woman trembled all over and quickly said, "I also heard, Liu Zhenchuan telling Bie San that... oh, no, he said that after the deed was done, he would give Gu Yue to Bie San for his amusement!"
Hearing these words, the villagers outside stared daggers at Liu Zhenchuan with venomous eyes. There was a buzz of discussion. Many had started to quietly spit in Liu Zhenchuan’s direction!
Subsequently, Lin Tian’s gaze fell on the woman wearing the red lingerie.
The woman didn’t know what else to say about the incident but instead gritted her teeth and spilled Liu Zhenchuan’s dirty secrets.
"Liu Zhenchuan, he... he’s not a good man, he often comes here to play with women and, relying on his bit of power, cheats and delays payment, even stiffing us of our money. Are you even human?"
Her voice was filled with sorrow, tears spinning unrestrainedly in her eyes.
These women might appear flirtatious and bold on the outside, but the bitterness in their hearts was known only to themselves.
If not compelled by life’s circumstances, who would choose this line of work? In truth, they too are a group of pitiful people.
Of course, the pitiable have their detestable sides; if they weren’t idle and self-degrading, they wouldn’t have fallen into a life of entertaining men!
Another woman, seeming to have hit a sore spot, shouted, "Right, Liu Zhenchuan, he’s scum! I saw with my own eyes how he *** a twelve-year-old girl and then sold her here; eventually, the girl couldn’t bear the humiliation and jumped to her death."
"He’s not only cheating us out of money, but he maliciously toys with us. There are several sisters whom he hurt so badly, they curse him every day, wishing him a grievous death."
"That’s right, and there’s more...!"
The two women became more and more incensed as they spoke, and the mood changed completely. Instead of Lin Tian finding the truth, the ladies had turned to airing their grievances.
However, the more the crowd listened from their mouths, the more shocked they grew, as one hideous fact after another emerged, indelible.
Lin Tian stared at Liu Zhenchuan with gritted teeth, harboring a deadly resolve.
The simple folk at the door, in turn, were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could kill Liu Zhenchuan on the spot.
Liu Zhenchuan had invited them to tarnish the reputations of Lin Tian and Gu Yue; now, the tables had turned on him. It wouldn’t be long before his misdeeds would be spread by these villagers to every corner of the area!
Then, Lin Tian interrupted the women’s grievances, step by step, he approached Liu Zhenchuan.
He viciously stamped his foot onto Liu Zhenchuan’s face and demanded, "Tell me, when you said you saw me coming out of Gu Yue’s room, was that true?"
Lin Tian asked this to restore Gu Yue’s reputation.
"This...!"
Liu Zhenchuan didn’t dare to continue.
Indeed, he had seen Lin Tian coming out of Gu Yue’s room.
But now his life was in Lin Tian’s hands, so he dared not admit it and quickly corrected himself, "No, no, no, I didn’t see it. I made it up. Gu Yue is a good girl; she would never do anything improper!"
"Yeah, I also don’t believe that Gu Yue would do such a thing," said someone.
"Gu Yue has been falsely accused."
"This scumbag, ruining Gu Yue’s reputation like that, he’s worse than a pig or dog."
"Animal!"
... ...
The villagers were cursing one after another.
After hearing this, Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction. These words had reached the villagers’ ears, and Gu Yue’s reputation was preserved.
