Chen Hao
Chapter 274 Beat You Until You Submit
"My name is... Li Tianran."
As these words left his mouth, the wind in the area seemed to calm down a lot.
The people present were somewhat astonished, trying hard to focus their vision, wanting to see the true face of the black figure.
Li Tianran was well-known in Nancheng. Since the eleven-person trial last time, many people knew this name, but not everyone had seen him.
Moreover, in this environment, Li Tianran's former fame didn't seem to be a capital worth showing off...
Under the apocalypse, people only wanted to survive.
Fame couldn't be eaten or drunk!
A slightly mocking smile appeared on Lu Chi's face as he looked at Li Tianran in the distance. He stood up and said, "Li Tianran? A big shot!"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Lao Hei and the others sensed something was wrong.
Lu Chi's words seemed a bit sharp, not friendly enough... well, very unfriendly!
Li Tianran frowned, sizing up the young man in front of him, who was only two or three years older than Ding Lu, with a strong unruly and ferocious aura between his brows. Suddenly, he laughed: "You seem to be very hostile towards me?"
Lu Chi looked at Li Tianran expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know? You sounded just like a god standing on the clouds, bestowing blessings on the lowly people praying in the mud! I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from, but I can tell you, I hate your condescending attitude."
"And... I don't know what you have that's worth me following!"
Li Tianran's expression didn't change.
He was sure that Lu Chi was the most unique and headstrong person he had ever met. Lu Chi was like a little wolf who didn't know what fear was, daring to bare his fangs at anyone!
Li Tianran wasn't angry because he was rejected. Instead, he became even more interested in Lu Chi.
Strong people always have some personality!
Li Tianran didn't think he was the type of Dragon Aotian (overpowered protagonist) who, no matter what powerful characters he encountered, only needed to release his aura of dominance to make the other party kneel and sing his praises...
"You ask me what I have that's worth you following..."
Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then strode forward.
"I once led people to kill thugs and destroy bandit gangs!"
"I once went deep into a cult's lair alone and slaughtered the heretics!"
"More than a hundred thugs have died at my hands!"
"More than a hundred people have survived because of me!"
"I am powerful, I am righteous, I can protect myself under the apocalypse, and then change the world."
"What reason do you have to refuse the recruitment of such a powerful commander?"
Li Tianran stopped, standing ten meters in front of Lu Chi, the nameless pressure on his body becoming even stronger!
Li Tianran looked directly into Lu Chi's eyes and asked sternly, word by word: "Answer me!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Lao Wei and Lao Hei were also terrified.
Although they hadn't seen Li Tianran fight, their instincts as living beings still made them realize that Li Tianran was hundreds of times more terrifying than Zhang Hui and his gang combined!
If they angered him, who present could survive?
Lao Wei and Lao Hei both cast pleading glances at Lu Chi, hoping he could show some weakness.
Even if Lu Chi was fierce, he was already seriously injured, how could he compete with Li Tianran?
"Little Lu, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him..." Lao Hei stammered in a low voice.
Facing Li Tianran's aggressive attitude, Lu Chi raised his head and suddenly laughed: "Li Tianran, actually, I've heard of you before, and I've also studied your deeds in depth. Thugs and bandit gangs... I'm not sure! But after the cult lair case, I once sneaked into that old church... I saw the bullet holes on the walls, and I saw the bloodstains on the ground."
"You didn't go deep into the cult's lair alone. You must have carried some powerful weapon. That's your confidence, your courage comes from weapons! Apart from that, you're not worth mentioning at all!"
Lu Chi smiled, grinning and said, "But I'm different. I once killed a congressman!"
"Everyone thought I killed him in a car accident, but in reality, he was murdered by me!"
"From the other party's daily schedule to the route, I observed for at least a few months! I formulated a series of perfect plans, and finally, under heavy protection, I successfully killed him!"
"When I killed him, I had nothing! Only a broken car!"
"That's what you call courage! That's what you call fearlessness!"
Lu Chi laughed wildly, his words filled with boastfulness about his actions.
Li Tianran looked at him in silence and suddenly asked, "I can't quite understand your thought process. Do you think that only by abandoning all weapons can you better prove your bravery? I'm telling you now, that's not bravery, that's stupidity."
Lu Chi's eyes suddenly widened fiercely.
"As for what you said just now about my condescending attitude..." Li Tianran stepped towards Lu Chi, walking as he said, "Although I don't want to admit it, that's how this world is now. Those who have power and authority stand at the peak, and those who have no power can only watch others stand at the peak, unable to even utter words of resistance."
"Although you have courage and ambition, you don't have enough power, so in my eyes, you are indeed just a pathetic little reptile."
Li Tianran paused slightly and said, "Do humans need to pay attention to their attitude when talking to reptiles?"
Lu Chi's gaze turned cold.
"It seems it's difficult for me to persuade you... You are a very stubborn person, and I don't have much patience either." Li Tianran rubbed his fists, his knuckles making cracking sounds: "You are an unruly wolf cub, since you are not convinced, then I will beat you until you are!"
