Wu Tian's words were spoken so casually, as if he didn't even consider Zhong Lintian a threat.
Zhong Lintian's expression was extremely grim. To be honest, when he first received Wu Tian's investigation report, he was indeed surprised by Wu Tian.
After all, winning the martial arts exchange competition was no small feat.
For this reason, he had hired the best bodyguards from the city's top bodyguard company, intending to suppress Wu Tian forcefully. However, he hadn't expected them to be ineffective.
He felt like he was about to explode with anger.
He, Zhong Lintian, had always been arrogant, and everyone treated him with respect. Yet, this Wu Tian before him didn't take him seriously. How dare this guy act like this?
Yes, he was indeed skilled in martial arts, but so what?
Was being skilled in martial arts all that mattered?
He could fight five or six people, but could he fight fifty or sixty?
Zhong Lintian believed Wu Tian's stance was merely a facade.
No one in this world could defeat so many people, not even the sect leaders of major sects!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, I've given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "Haven't you always been impolite? Why are you saying this to me now? Are you trying to appear magnanimous?"
Zhong Lintian said, "Good, good, good! I like your stubbornness."
"When I have you pinned to the ground and rubbing your face in the dirt, I'll see if you can still be so stubborn!"
"Everyone!" he suddenly raised his voice, "Attack! Kill him!"
The bodyguards had long been annoyed by Wu Tian, so they all stepped forward and advanced towards Wu Tian.
Heavy pressure immediately descended upon Wu Tian, but he remained unfazed, as if these people were merely there to celebrate his birthday.
Just as everyone was preparing to make their move.
Suddenly, a flustered voice called out, "Oh dear, what are you all trying to do?"
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, and Wu Tian was the first to be stunned.
Wang Damao? Why was he here?
The person who had spoken was indeed Wang Damao.
Wang Damao came running over and was greatly startled by the scene.
He squeezed into the crowd and asked, "Who are you people? I've never seen you before."
Zhong Lintian, confused by the sudden appearance of Wang Damao, asked, "Who are you? What business do you have here? Get lost!"
Wang Damao was displeased upon hearing this.
He pointed at Zhong Lintian and reprimanded, "Young man, who are you? Why are you speaking to me like that? You're so impolite!"
Wu Tian walked over to Wang Damao and asked in a low voice, "Village Chief, why did you come here?"
Wang Damao said, "I was worried about you. These guys don't look like good people. You wouldn't let me call the police, so I had to come and see what was happening."
"How are you? Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"
Hearing Wang Damao's words, Wu Tian was deeply touched.
This Wang Damao, knowing the danger, still came to check on him. He was truly a good person.
He shook his head and said, "They haven't done anything to me yet, but Village Chief, this is not a place for you. You should hurry back and don't worry about me."
"Don't worry about me?" Wang Damao was unhappy. "No, Wu Tian, how can I not worry about you?"
"You are a villager, and you've helped our village so many times. I definitely have to look out for you."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to be the village chief?"
After speaking, Wang Damao walked up to Zhong Lintian again and said, "Young man, can't we talk things out? What you're doing is wrong!"
"Fighting and killing won't solve any problems. I advise you to stop."
"Come with me to the mediation room. As the village chief, I will not favor either side."
Although Wang Damao was the village chief, in Zhong Lintian's eyes, a village chief was nothing.
He said coldly, "Get lost. This has nothing to do with you. Don't bring trouble upon yourself!"
Wang Damao said, "I know you young people have a lot of spirit."
"I was young once too, so I can understand that."
"But this is a society governed by law now. Fighting and killing is not acceptable. You should stop before you regret it."
Zhong Lintian became impatient and said, "Can you understand human language? Are you deliberately looking for a fight?"
"I'll tell you one more time, get out of here now!"
"If you don't get out of here now, do you believe I'll beat you up too!"
Zhong Lintian's imposing manner did intimidate Wang Damao.
But for Wu Tian's safety, Wang Damao persisted, "What you're doing is wrong. With me here today, you won't be able to fight. This is my duty as the village chief!"
"Damn it!" Zhong Lintian finally lost his temper.
He raised his hand and slapped Wang Damao, sending him to the ground!
He stepped on Wang Damao's chest and said furiously, "Are you looking for death? Fine, I'll grant you your wish. Now, die!"
As he spoke, Zhong Lintian kicked towards Wang Damao's head.
However, he missed Wang Damao and lost his balance, falling to the ground himself.
"What the hell are you doing!" he glared at Wu Tian, his eyes almost spitting fire.
He had been pushed over by Wu Tian.
At this moment, Wu Tian's expression was cold, as if radiating killing intent.
He was truly enraged, as Wang Damao had been beaten by Zhong Lintian while trying to help him.
He could not tolerate such a thing!
He helped Wang Damao up and said in a deep voice, "Village Chief, please step back. I will deal with these people."
Wang Damao, ignoring the pain on his face, said, "Wu Tian, you can't act recklessly."
"Let me handle it. If I say a few more words, they'll surely stop!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Don't hold out hope for a beast, because beasts don't understand."
"Who the hell are you calling a beast!" Zhong Lintian stood up.
He shouted angrily at Wu Tian, "You bastard, you're still so arrogant even when death is at your doorstep. Watch how I kill you!"
Wu Tian's figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared before Zhong Lintian like a phantom.
Before Zhong Lintian could react, the sound of a resounding slap echoed.
Immediately after, he was sent crashing to the ground again!
