Chapter 188: Chapter 184: Excessive Defense?

Both of these men dressed in black were S-class bodyguards of the Gold Sword Security Company. Each had abilities that far surpassed Lin Yun's earlier capabilities. Lin Yun was not worried that these thugs, even if they numbered fifty to sixty, would pose a challenge to them. Even if something unexpected happened, wouldn't he still be there?

In an alley nearby, there were dozens of other bodyguards, who were not to be taken lightly either.

"What difference would adding two more men make?" Upon seeing this, Zhang Xi laughed scornfully, he said.

If these two men possessed the skill of Lin Yun, he might have given them more thought. But honestly, over these years, he hadn't encountered anyone else with capabilities like Lin Yun's. If they were somewhat formidable, they could maybe fend off five or six opponents at once.

He didn't believe that these two men would possess skills at par with Lin Yun.

But in the very next moment, his thoughts shifted dramatically.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—"

Zhang Xi's men charged one after another towards the two men dressed in black. However, before they could even come into contact with them, they found themselves either knocked to the ground or flung away.

"Ah—"

"It hurts so much!"

"Oh my God!"

The cries echoed from Zhang Xi's men as they were hit, one after another.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight men were knocked down by the men dressed in black. Initially, these individuals had run towards the two black-clad men. But after witnessing this display, the remaining gang members froze, too scared to charge forward.

As no one else rushed in, the two men in black didn't stop. They leisurely moved forward, like a walk in the park, striking down the men around them one by one.

"How is this possible? The skills of these two men..."

Zhang Xi's face was filled with disbelief, his heart shaking.

Could these two men's abilities be even more terrifying than Lin Yun's back in the day?

Instead of attacking, it seemed like they were rushing to get beaten!

"Is this... for real?"

"This is way too exaggerated..."

The villagers who witnessed this scene were completely astounded.

Back then, although they had heard that Lin Yun was a skilled fighter, very few of them had actually seen him in action.

Even among the few who had, none had seen him perform anything near this level of impressiveness.

This scene seemed too surreal to them.

"Are they filming a movie?"

"It feels like I'm watching a staged fight..."

Some of the younger villagers muttered,

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. This petty thug is nothing to your son." Lin Yun clasped his parents' hands, noticing their anxiety. He offered a reassuring smile and spoke.

"Little Cloud, although your two friends can fight, we live in a society governed by law. I heard that Zhang Xi has connections with the authorities..." Lin's father and mother turned to look at Lin Yun, with Lin's mother voicing her concern.

"Hehe, mom, you said it yourself, we live in a society governed by law. We're merely acting in self-defense. So, both of you have nothing to worry about!" countered Lin Yun with a chuckle.

"Well..." Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Lin's parents felt even more helpless.

What they wanted to express wasn't simply about abiding by the law. After all, to have law, you need people. In rural areas like Immortal Origin County, this scenario was even more prevalent. They lacked connections in the government, and considering Lin Yun had just returned from abroad, he probably didn't have any either.

But Zhang Xi did, and it wouldn't be easy to get the authorities on their side.

As things stood, authorities could impose a fine on them for the medical expenses of these men. With so many people involved, it wouldn't be a small amount.

However, they were at a loss about how to explain this to Lin Yun.

"The Lin family is done for! After attacking so many people at once, how could they possibly get away with it..."

"Self-defense…? He's dreaming. Too young to know any better..."

"Dealing with these thugs is always troublesome. If you can't beat them, it's bad; if you can, it's still bad..."

"What if the authorities were to imprison Lin Yun for a few years and impose a heavy fine? This family would be ruined..."

Upon overhearing the conversation between Lin Yun and his parents, the villagers shook their heads in agreement.

"Lin Yun, you're doomed. You dared to injure so many of us. You're finished..." Awakening from the shock of the scene, Zhang Xi glared at Lin Yun with a mix of fear and fury, continually repeating these words.

The moment he decided to take on Lin Yun, he had alerted his contacts in the government.

If everything went as planned, his contact would arrive within minutes.

"Really?" replied Lin Yun indifferently.

He gave no weight to Zhang Xi's words.

He had a hunch about what Zhang Xi was banking on. After years of knocking about outside, he wasn't completely clueless.

If he was still the same person, this could cause him significant trouble.

But he was no longer the same person.

He was not afraid of ordinary official powers.

"As for you guys! Don't think you're so tough! You'd better stop now, or else, I'll make sure you regret it…" At this point, Zhang Xi turned to Lin Yun's two bodyguards and shouted.

As he spoke, he continued to retreat.

As the two men in black knocked more and more people down, the number of his subordinates who retreated increased, and the two men in black were almost upon him.

"Don't retreat, all of you, charge! Once this is over, I'll give bonus to you all..."

At the same time, Zhang Xi turned to his subordinates, who had already retreated to both sides, shouting loudly.

"Roar——" Get more chapters at m|vl-em-py-r

Initially, Zhang Xi's men were on the verge of dispersing. Upon hearing Zhang Xi's words, they rallied and charged at the two men in black again.

What's the big deal about getting beaten up?

When they charged, they were already prepared to take a beating.

"Aargh——"

However, in the next moment, some of the people who were hit by the two guys in black fell on the ground in agony.

At this moment, they regretted it.

They thought, how hard could these guys in black hit?

They also thought those comrades, who fell to the ground and didn't get up, were just pretending because they didn't want to continue fighting. They had done the same in the past.

However, they now realized that they were wrong.

The hits from the enemies were indeed heavy.

One man was hit in the stomach; he felt as though his gut had been penetrated. He fell to the ground, unable to muster any strength.

Another man was hit in the back; he felt like his spine had been broken. He was quite terrified. Would he be paralyzed forever?

"Woo wa——"

About a minute later, a siren sounded in the distance.

"They're here! They're here!"

Zhang Xi happily looked at the police car in the distance.

Even though this was just one police car, with limited personnel, it held a different meaning.

They represented the authorities.

Who dared to stand up against the authorities?

"Was that car called by Zhang Xi?"

"It's over, it's over for Lin Yun, his family is doomed..."

The villagers watching the scene sighed when they saw Zhang Xi's reaction.

At that point, almost every one of the fifty or so men had been knocked down by the two guys in black.

The evidence was damning.

As for self-defense?

Who dared to testify to that?

Moreover, the villagers who understood the law vaguely felt that the actions of the two men in black were not genuine self-defense.

Self-defense... was about defending oneself when in imminent danger…

But just before, the opponents had already retreated and dared not to fight, and the two men in black still chased after and attacked?

Could that also be considered self-defense?

Their defense was a bit excessive, wasn't it?

In any case, Lin Yun's family was surely in trouble now.

Even if some of them were willing to testify, this self-defense was a bit excessive...

"I'm telling you, don't blindly intervene. Lin Yun didn't have a good education, and his self-defense was excessive. Plus, judging by Zhang Xi's reaction, and how quickly the car came, it was highly likely summoned by him. We can't stir up trouble with Zhang Xi and his gang, or our family will be dragged into it..." Just then, Lin Minghui quickly pulled his wife Yuer Lee aside and said.

"What are you talking about? Gui Zhi and I have a good relationship, how can I not help when her family is in trouble? We're all from the same village, why are you being so heartless..." Yuer Lee retorted angrily.

"I'm heartless? Wait till Zhang Xi's gang turn against us, then you'll see who's heartless. We'll see who comes to help us then!" Lin Minghui replied angrily.
