Chen Niu hadn't expected that on his turf, with so many of his men around, Wu Tian would dare to speak to him like that.
Anger surged to his head in an instant.
He snarled, "What did you say? Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?"
Wu Tian chuckled coldly, "Of course, I know you dare to touch me, but the problem is, you really can't do anything to me today."
He scanned the thugs and continued, "Just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp. Do you really think you're something special?"
Chen Niu's lungs felt like they were about to explode.
He roared, "Kid, you seem pretty arrogant, don't you? I love teaching those who don't know their place."
"You think you're tough, huh? Today, I'll show you what real toughness is!"
"All of you, attack! Kill him!"
With Chen Niu's command, the thugs immediately lunged at Wu Tian.
Seeing this, the nearby gamblers dared not get involved and quickly retreated, clearing a large area around the gambling tables.
The thugs charged at Wu Tian with bared teeth and ferocious expressions, as if they were going to devour him.
Wu Tian remained unfazed, his eyes as calm as a lake, not a ripple stirred.
He casually dodged an incoming fist and then, like a thunderbolt, plunged into the crowd.
His punches were ferociously powerful, leaving no room for mercy!
Every thug he hit spat blood and flew backward, the least of them suffering a broken rib.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen thugs lay defeated on the ground.
Everyone was stunned. They had expected Wu Tian to be beaten into a crippled state, but he was so formidable that a dozen thugs couldn't even touch him.
Chen Niu was also dumbfounded. This wasn't right!
This guy in front of him looked like an ordinary person, so how could he possess such strength?
Amidst the thugs' screams, Wu Tian smiled at Chen Niu and said, "You're called Brother Niu, but are your men so easily defeated?"
Chen Niu knew he was being belittled and roared in exasperation, "You just wait! I'll make you pay!"
With that, he pulled out his phone and dialed, shouting hysterically, "All of you, get down here! Someone's causing trouble!"
Not long after he hung up, all the thugs he had called for rushed down.
There were forty to fifty of them in total, each armed with knives, iron rods, or similar weapons.
Instantly, a palpable aura of menace enveloped the entire gambling hall.
The sheer presence terrified everyone, and they retreated further to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
With his men present, Chen Niu gained confidence.
He tilted his chin up and said to Wu Tian, "Kid, with so many of my men, dare you still act so cocky?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly, "You've truly disappointed me. I thought a big shot like you would have more men. Turns out, they're all just misfits."
"I advise you, you'd better call more people. This mob is hardly worth the effort, don't come here to embarrass yourself."
Wu Tian's casual smile made Chen Niu pause.
He was truly perplexed as to why Wu Tian dared to speak like that.
With so many people attacking at once, even a martial arts master would only be able to take a beating!
What gave this kid such confidence?
Chen Niu believed Wu Tian was just bluffing, trying to scare him away.
So, he said grimly, "Kid, don't think your words will make me falter."
"Your actions are nothing but a joke to me!"
"I, Chen Niu, have been in the underworld for so many years. If I were to lose to a brat like you, I might as well quit the game!"
Wu Tian scratched his ear, feigning boredom, "I know you're tough, so what? Are you just going to shout aimlessly?"
"If you're really capable, then have your men come and try!"
"What's the point of just talking tough here? Is your status built on empty threats?"
Wu Tian's repeated provocations made Chen Niu tremble violently.
He gritted his teeth and said with immense force, "You bastard... die for me!"
Following Chen Niu's frenzied roar, the newly arrived thugs shivered slightly, then, without hesitation, surged towards Wu Tian like a swarm of locusts.
The thugs rushing forward were particularly ferocious; their very appearances were enough to instill terror.
Undoubtedly, these were men who lived life on the edge.
The gamblers watching from afar felt their hearts clench.
After all, such scenes were usually only seen on television.
When such an event unfolded before their eyes, no one could remain calm.
But Wu Tian was an exception!
As the first thug, brandishing a cleaver, lunged at him, Wu Tian extended his hand and pressed it firmly against the thug's face!
Then, with a powerful swing of his arm, Wu Tian slammed the thug onto the table!
With a resounding crash, the sturdy gambling table collapsed.
The thug lay on the ground, his head bleeding, motionless.
Following that, Wu Tian swept through the remaining thugs like a gust of autumn wind, overturning them all to the ground with equally violent force.
In less than two minutes, all forty to fifty thugs were completely subdued!
In the vast gambling hall, the thugs lay groaning on the ground, writhing like maggots, bloodstains everywhere.
Wu Tian, on the other hand, remained as if untouched, not a speck of blood on him, his breathing perfectly steady.
His eyes held a hint of indifference, and his words seemed devoid of warmth.
"I told you, they were just rotten fish and shrimp."
"You thought you could deal with me using rotten fish and shrimp. I think you're just overthinking things."
The gamblers were struck speechless, momentarily forgetting to breathe.
Chen Niu's face was etched with shock; if he hadn't been supporting himself on the table, he would have nearly fallen over.
He could still call more people. He controlled half the forces in the county town, so calling hundreds of men was no problem.
But Wu Tian's performance was too effortless!
Such a person was a monster!
He seriously suspected that even if he brought all his men, they would be no match for Wu Tian!
Seeing his silence, Wu Tian looked at him again and said, "Weren't you quite talkative just now? Why are you speechless now?"
