Free Web NovelChapter 1092: Chapter 1052: All Chickened Out
According to their understanding, if it were a crossbow arrow, it would certainly involve drawing the bowstring, even those sophisticated hand crossbows require stringing.
Place the finger-length crossbow arrow on the hand crossbow.
But obviously, Lin Yi did not make such a move, which puzzled them greatly, and more importantly, no arrows were found beside the fallen General.
This directly negated their previous conjecture. Lin Yi was definitely not using a hand crossbow, nor any crossbow arrow.
But how exactly did he accomplish this? Taking lives with a simple gesture and emitting a faint sound, what kind of mysterious technique was this?
Of course, while this action shocked some people, it also instantly made some blood boil.
They thought, with only one opponent, no matter how formidable, can he manage several people?
Suddenly, more than ten people began fleeing in different directions.
And at this moment, Lin Yi, sitting unruffled, lifted his hand and casually jerked it a few times, which instantly caused a series of "poof, poof, poof" sounds to emanate.
Accompanied by these poofing sounds, the subsequent "thud, thud" noises resounded from all directions.
When they turned to look, they saw that all those fleeing in different directions had already fallen into a pool of blood. Obviously, Lin Yi had effortlessly taken all of them down.
Immediately, a sense of panic enveloped their hearts. They all started to fear, wondering what kind of supernatural technique could kill invisibly, making them lose any thought of resisting.
This mysterious method, this unknown fear, made their legs tremble.
Those who originally reached for their weapons instinctively retracted their hands and looked at Lin Yi as if he was a god of death, not daring to step forward even a bit.
And at this moment, Lin Yi arrogantly placed his palm by his mouth, and with a gentle blow, a wisp of blue smoke slanted away, while he glanced playfully at the crowd, his tone filled with sarcasm:
"So, does anyone want to try whether my hand is quicker or your agility is faster?
I can give you a chance; you all can rush out together.
Of course, I can’t guarantee that none of you will escape, but I can ensure that over ninety percent of you will be left here.
Who stays and who runs, that’s uncertain, but given you have a tiny chance to escape, if I were you, I would definitely choose to flee."
His words were like a slap in the face, but although they were hit, not a single person dared say anything or show dissatisfaction.
Their mood now compared to before was entirely different; at first, they only saw Lin Yi as a young brat.
In the middle, they merely thought Lin Yi was a skilled guy.
But now, it’s different; Lin Yi is simply like a devil.
Effortlessly disposing of them all, how could they harbor any intent to resist against such a divine being?
This echoes the statement; if facing someone inferior, you’d scorn them.
Confronted with them, you’d feel anger.
If you face someone of equal standing, you’d feel discomfort, insolence, dissatisfaction.
But facing someone vastly superior, you won’t feel any discontent, even if they slap you, you’d greet them cheerfully.
This is the crushing power of strength, the overwhelming blow of superiority.
The reason Lin Yi could effortlessly bring people down was entirely due to the custom silenced handgun in his possession.
This handgun, modified with a magazine of 40 rounds, and the silencer tailored, not emitting any flash nor producing a loud sound, just like the noise of a slap.
Because of this, even when the commotion wasn’t small and some could hear it outside, the guards didn’t imagine that their Generals were experiencing a hellish scene.
They even retreated a bit outside, fearing the anger inside might affect them, as they were merely grunts.
Any General’s wrath is something they cannot withstand.
Just a displeased look, an unsatisfied word from the opponent, if they take it out on them, they might never return.
Looking at the silent crowd, at those thoroughly frightened, Lin Yi’s lips slightly curled.
These people evoked no pity from him at all, for the caliber of a General’s subordinates reflects their character, and Lin Yi recognized their depravity; they were capable of all evils.
Therefore, Lin Yi showed them no mercy.
Slaughtering them was as effortless as killing chickens, without causing any ripple in his heart.
More importantly, these individuals must be eliminated.
With their presence, the army cannot be regained; with the presence of the Generals, they instill a belief in the soldiers to reconstruct the army.
Hence, Lin Yi ordered them to bind themselves, then led them out to face the soldiers, allowing them to witness their General’s fate firsthand.
Only thus could the soldiers utterly lose hope.
That was Lin Yi’s plan.
"This, this young, young man. This General. Oh, no. Now we believe you are the Emperor of Dayou Nation. Emperor sir. We have come this time without intending to offend.
Please, overlook our trespasses and forgive us, for when two armies meet, they do not slay emissaries.
Though we have gathered here, this is still our city, and we have yet to cause any offense to your nation."
