Lin Xiaotian helplessly patted his forehead. "I feel like when I talk to you, you just don't understand human language. I've already asked you, just say what you want directly, no need to put on an act in front of me."
"You're basically robbing me blind. If you can't get what you want, you'll kill. Why bother with those high-sounding excuses?"
The man with the triangular eyes gritted his teeth. He hadn't finished his act yet, and this young man had interrupted him directly, which made him very displeased.
A fierce look appeared on his face. "Do you know what? I hate it most when people interrupt me."
"I'm in a very bad mood right now. I'm not in a hurry for anything. Since you've already fallen into my hands, I can slowly extort it from you."
"I believe you'll hand over whatever I want. By then, I'll have had my fun."
"But don't worry, I won't kill you directly. After all, that would bring me huge trouble. If a young master like you can make Wu Gaoyang recognize you as his master, you must have a powerful force behind you."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "To put it bluntly, you're just a coward!"
The triangular-eyed man was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode. He felt like his weak spot had been poked.
The guy was speaking the plain truth.
He said with a dark face, "It seems you've never experienced the harshness of society. I'm the cleaver, and you're the fish. Yet you're still putting on a show in front of me, calling me a coward?"
"No one has ever called me a coward. I'm very unhappy right now, so I'm going to make a move on you. Tell me, should I break your arm first, or your leg?"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. "I think I should give you a couple of slaps first to wake you up."
The triangular-eyed man's heart raged even more. If he hadn't been unsure of Lin Xiaotian's background, he would have wanted to slap Lin Xiaotian to death right then and there.
This little brat was too infuriating.
Without hesitation, he took a few steps forward, raised his palm, and swung it fiercely towards Lin Xiaotian's face. If that slap had landed, his face would have been swollen with a prominent handprint.
At this moment, an incredibly fierce look flashed in his triangular eyes. He wanted to teach this kid a harsh lesson and let him know how powerful he was.
However, before his move could land, Lin Xiaotian had already slapped him hard across the face.
The slap, which arrived later but struck first, was incredibly loud.
The triangular-eyed man didn't even have time to react. He only saw a dark shadow appear before his eyes. By the time he tried to dodge, it was already too late.
The slap landed hard on his face. He felt a burning pain, his head felt a bit dizzy, and his ears were ringing as if one ear had gone completely deaf.
His eyes boiled with rage, and he even forgot the disparity between himself and Lin Xiaotian.
"You dare to hit me?"
"I think you're tired of living. Even if you have a powerful force behind you, I won't care about them now. After all, you're just one person. Killing you is easier than killing an ant. You will pay the price for your reckless actions today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a mocking sneer appear on Lin Xiaotian's face.
A very bad premonition arose in his heart.
And in the next moment, the smile on Lin Xiaotian's face gradually bloomed. He then took a sudden step forward, as if he had crossed space and distance, and appeared directly in front of him.
That slap also came down fiercely.
"Slap..."
The continuous sound of slaps echoed. The triangular-eyed man was so disoriented that he even saw Lin Xiaotian as a blur. He stumbled to the ground, his head spinning as if the whole world was rotating.
His eyes held disbelief. He had wanted to resist, but with every slap Lin Xiaotian delivered, it dispersed the internal energy he had gathered.
A thought now welled up in his heart: What exactly was this person in front of him? Was he an immortal? Why was he so powerful?
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Are you clear-headed now?"
"If you're not, I don't mind giving you a few more slaps to let you know what true strength is."
"I'm too lazy to bother with you. You're still putting on an act in front of me. I gave you a dozen slaps to help you clear your head first, and then honestly tell me what you want."
Hearing this, the triangular-eyed man finally reacted. His face had turned pale, but several clear handprints adorned it.
He looked incredibly comical.
A trace of fear appeared in his eyes. "Who exactly are you? Why did I not feel any fluctuation of internal energy when you made your move? And your strength is definitely above mine. I have no power to resist in front of you, yet I can't sense your aura?"
Everything he was experiencing now had overturned his understanding of the world.
Even the most powerful experts would reveal their strength and cultivation level the moment they made a move. But in front of Lin Xiaotian, he felt as if he were looking at an endless abyss. At this moment, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You're too weak. Even if I were to reveal my strongest power in front of you, you wouldn't know my cultivation level."
"Even people from Tianluodiwang would have to behave themselves in front of me, let alone a nobody like you who appeared out of nowhere."
"You hit Wu Gaoyang and completely crippled him. From that moment on, your fate was sealed."
Hearing this, the fear on the triangular-eyed man's face intensified. His voice began to tremble. "Who... who exactly are you?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to put on an act in front of me. Before, you wanted something, didn't you have any idea what it was?"
"You didn't even bother to find out my information before daring to attack my subordinate. I think you're incredibly stupid."
The triangular-eyed man couldn't help but want to retreat. He knew he was probably doomed today. He had completely crippled Wu Gaoyang, and Lin Xiaotian was clearly very angry.
He had originally thought Lin Xiaotian was just an insignificant nobody, with only a powerful force behind him. Now, he realized he was utterly wrong, and had stepped into an abyss.
