Top-Tier Superpower Student

"Be careful!"

Lin Tian warned himself, glancing at the two corpses on the ground with a hint of sympathy before continuing back to sleep in his combat vehicle.

In a groggy daze, Lin Tian lay down to sleep, but Fang Shaoxiong's snoring was incredibly loud, rumbling like thunder.

Wang Ying was a heavy sleeper and wasn't affected, but Lin Tianjue was a light sleeper and woke up at four in the morning.

With nothing to do outside and mosquitoes swarming everywhere, he had no choice but to stay in the combat vehicle, counting stars through the window.

His ears were extremely sensitive. Inadvertently, he heard the rustling footsteps outside the vehicle.

"Hey, third brother, look, there's a vehicle here."

"Damn, second brother, it's hidden pretty well. I almost bumped into it."

"Third brother, the people inside must be asleep. Let's make our move, kill them, and when the time comes, Mr. Guan will definitely reward us handsomely."

"All right, let's kill them, quietly, with a fatal strike."

Although their voices were soft, Lin Tian could hear every word from inside the vehicle. Early this morning, these assassins had killed two people not far from where Lin Tian was, and now, before the sky had even brightened, the gang of assassins had come to kill him.

Lin Tian chuckled to himself, thinking that they were unlucky to come across him. Killing such extremely vicious people was considered a good deed for the people.

However, he didn't rush to act. In the quiet night, it was rare for him to find something interesting, and he wanted to see just how sturdy Fang Shaoxiong's Death War Chariot was and whether these two men could smash it.

The two men crept up to the Death War Chariot and peered in through the window.

Lin Tian also tensed up, staring right back at them from inside, eye to eye. He could even make out the sleep in the corners of their eyes, but they couldn't see anything.

The Death War Chariot's windows were covered with a thin film that allowed clear visibility from the inside out, but not the other way around.

"Can't see anything clearly, second brother."

"I can't either, but I hear snoring. The people inside must be sleeping. This deal, we've got it in the bag."

Lin Tian laughed to himself, listening to them. They thought they had it in the bag, but in a moment, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

"Second brother, this vehicle, it looks like a tank, doesn't it? Our swords and axes won't break it open. How are we going to smash it?"

"Dammit, all you do is ask questions, think of something."

A while later, the second brother thought of an idea.

"Third brother, see that tree? Let's saw it down quickly, let the tree smash the vehicle. I don't believe this crappy shell is so tough that it can't be broken by a falling tree."

"Second brother, you're so smart. No wonder you're my big brother. Maybe it'll even crush the people inside to death. If that happens, we won't have to lift a finger. Heh heh."

"Stop talking trash, and don't get your hopes up. Get to work and remember, be quick."

Soon after, the sound of sawing began. Lin Tian didn't act, even he was curious if the Death War Chariot could withstand the force of a falling tree.

But for safety, he used his superpower to form a protective shield inside the vehicle. Even if the outer shell of the war chariot shattered, they would be unharmed.

After about ten seconds, Wang Ying was woken by the sound of sawing. "Big brother, do you hear that noise?"

"It's nothing, go back to sleep," Lin Tian lied to him.

"Oh, then I'll continue sleeping," Wang Ying fell asleep instantly.

The sawing of the tree continued for over thirty seconds, and Lin Tian couldn't help but admire Fang Shaoxiong's ability to sleep—with the racket going on, not only did he not awaken, but his snoring actually grew louder.

"Great, it's broken, push, push it quickly."

Following that, a large tree crashed down with a thunderous boom.

Bang!

A loud noise resounded as the sawed-off tree brutally slammed onto Fang Shaoxiong's war chariot.

Fortunately, the Death War Chariot lived up to its name—the fallen tree didn't even scratch the chariot's paint.

"Who, who, what's happening?" Fang Shaoxiong finally woke up, asking in dazed confusion.

Lin Tian didn't answer him and leaped out directly.

"Brother, the tree didn't smash the chariot, but it woke him up, run for it!"

"Run!"

Both men took off in unison. Lin Tian truly looked down on them—they were supposed to be assassins, yet as soon as Lin Tianyi appeared, even before he had made a move, the two turned tail and ran. They were a disgrace to the title of assassin.

Lin Tian picked up a stick and swept it towards them, hitting both of their legs simultaneously and bringing them to the ground.

The third brother didn't even spare a glance and, gritting his teeth in pain, turned his head to kneel and begged for mercy, "Mister, Sir, we were wrong, we were wrong. This was our first job, and we had no idea we were angering you. Sir, please spare us this once. We won't dare do it again."

The second brother was in the same pitiful state, kneeling on the ground and begging, "Sir, we truly made a mistake. We won't dare do it again. We've never killed anyone, not a single person. Please let me go this once, and I swear I'll turn over a new leaf."

Upon closer inspection, Lin Tian could tell that these two had never killed anyone. If such people could commit murder, then the victims must have been ridiculously weak. Moreover, it was obvious that the two who were killed at dawn were experts, and these two men before him, even if they exhausted themselves, wouldn't be able to kill them.

Lin Tian pretended to bellow, "You haven't killed anyone? Then who died this morning? Tell me truthfully, otherwise, you'll die very miserably!" After saying that, he pulled out a switchblade to intimidate them.

The second brother confessed honestly, "We are from Guan Family Village. Our Guan boss said you're all here to steal Red Flame Stones, that you are all bad people. Guan boss gave the order, sending strong men from Guan Family Village, grouping up two or three to assassinate you quietly. Killing one person would earn a million dollars in reward."

"We are just cooks from Guan Family Village. We got jealous seeing them earn money and followed them here. We didn't expect to run into you, Sir. We truly realize our mistake now. Please spare us this once. We swear, once we get back, we'll cook honestly and never come out to kill again."

"So that's what happened!" Lin Tian mused to himself.

Although these two in front of him were despicable, they were after all just cooks. Lin Tian was in a good mood today and decided not to kill them.

Lin Tian warned them, "You two should count yourselves lucky you ran into me. With the skills you have, you'd be the ones getting killed, not doing the killing. Go back and cook like honest men!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Sir, for sparing our lives, thank you...!"

The two quickly bowed in thanks and scurried away. Lin Tian didn't make it hard for them and returned to the chariot, smiling.

Two minutes later, they turned back and came rushing again, eyeing the war chariot with greedy looks.

"Let's go, let's report back to Guan boss. Say that they are very strong, that they're your competitors. Guan boss will surely take care of it personally. If we report and it's appreciated, even without killing anyone, we might still get the reward."
