Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 107 - 103: Combo Moves, Perfectly Executed
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just as Lu Lin was leaving the table where Guan Yue was sitting.
The sudden burst of gunfire resounded throughout the hotel hall.
"Ah——"
"Murder!"
A woman’s scream echoed.
Lu Lin instantly sobered up and looked towards the commotion.
Among the tables of his classmates, there was a man holding a gun in one hand, firing into the air, and gripping a middle-aged woman with the other.
"Mom!"
Lu Lin shouted and rushed forward rapidly.
"Don’t come over, Lu Lin!"
"You stay back."
"Take one more step and I’ll kill your mom!"
The gunman was visibly agitated, looking almost deranged.
"Jiang Yamin?!"
"Are you freaking crazy!"
Lu Lin stopped in his tracks, consumed with rage.
Jiang Yamin had pointed his gun at his mother’s temple, ready to fire at any moment of dissent.
The crowd started retreating quickly, and Lu Lin also noticed a young girl lying in a pool of blood at Jiang Yamin’s feet.
Her chest and abdomen had been repeatedly shot, clearly beyond saving.
It was Ma Yan.
Lu Lin didn’t expect that his kind gesture of bringing Jiang Yamin in would lead to this. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Was it premeditated?
Or spur of the moment?
Lu Lin was unconcerned with that question, his heart was racing as he looked at his mother whose face was flushed, straining against the grip around her neck.
"I’m crazy?"
"Hahahaha..."
Jiang Yamin burst out laughing maniacally.
"This woman, agreeing to go out with me only to invite two other girls wasn’t enough, she even called two of you guys over."
"I, Jiang Yamin, am a decent man, how could I force a woman."
"Hahaha, if you think I’m the villain, alright, I’ll show you what a villain really looks like."
"Now this wretched woman is dead, and I’m still alive."
"Indeed, good people die young, hahaha..."
As Jiang Yamin was speaking, Zhao Lei, Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Hu Nan gathered around Lu Lin.
Their abilities were strong enough that rescuing Lu Lin’s mother wouldn’t have been too difficult.
However, Lu Lin waved them off.
For the moment, he needed to keep Jiang Yamin calm.
His mom could not be harmed in the slightest.
Though Zhao Lei and others were at least Seventh Level, possessing the realms of Golden Body, Breaking Delusion, and Leakless, Lu Lin dared not let them attempt anything.
The one being strangled was his mother.
"Jiang Yamin, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I’ll apologize to you, it was indeed my fault for going out for dinner yesterday, I’ll transfer the money to you right away."
"Don’t get agitated, whatever amount you need, I’m willing to give it to you."
"Please don’t harm my mom, I’m begging you."
"Begging me?"
"Hmph."
A trace of disdain appeared on Jiang Yamin’s face.
"Even a genius like you has a day to beg others?"
"Since graduation from high school, haven’t you distanced yourself from us ordinary people?"
"You’re no longer among the elite, becoming Star Core Warriors?"
"So why is it that even you, Lu Lin, come begging?"
"Hahaha."
"I could let your mom go, but only if Bai Jingwei comes to beg me."
"As long as he pleads with me, I’ll not only let your mom go, but let you decide my fate."
"How about it, Lu the Super Genius."
A mocking grin flickered across Jiang Yamin’s face, knowing full well that Lu Lin would never ask Bai Jingwei to step in.
Even if Lu Lin mentioned it to Bai Jingwei, as the Governor of Saturn, Bai Jingwei wouldn’t make a special effort to come and plead with him.
"You!"
Lu Lin was momentarily speechless, realizing that Jiang Yamin had no genuine intent to negotiate.
To have Bai Jingwei plead for Lu Lin’s mother’s release seemed like too much to ask, Lu Lin felt neither he nor his mom had that much pull.
"Jiang Yamin!"
"Don’t bring up impossible demands, suggest something else, even if you want to take me hostage, just stop harming the innocent."
"Innocent?"
Jiang Yamin glanced at Ma Yan lying on the floor, blood still flowing, her breathing shallow, and laughed, "You call this wretched woman innocent?"
"If she’s innocent, then what about me? Am I not innocent?"
"I was just a decent martial artist, why did the martial arts hall dissolve, with even our Master Shao Xiaolong being defeated by you and publicly mocked by that coward Guan Pingchao in front of everyone on the street."
"Guan Pingchao, you piece of crap!"
"You idler, teaching useless students, oblivious to the fact that my Master deceived you for a year, disgusted. What face do you have to come curse in front of our Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall."
"And Guan Yue!"
"You wretched woman, couldn’t you just be a Star Guide, why did you have to bring that Ominous Star Lu Lin to the Martial Arts Hall."
"Now look, if Lu Lin’s mom dies at my hands, Lu Lin won’t forget you for life."
"You wretched woman, you secretly like Lu Lin but dare not say, huh, I bet Lu Lin doesn’t even know, that blockhead."
"Haha, someone who’s about to leave, and you still dare not show your feelings, truly... truly a waste!"
In the crowd, Guan Yue heard Jiang Yamin’s words, both angry and embarrassed.
She thought she had hidden it well, not expecting to be seen through by this martial artist from the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall she’d never met.
But she was angrier still.
That Jiang Yamin took out his feud between martial arts halls on Lu Lin.
Guan Yue realized that regardless of the outcome of today’s events, Lu Lin was unlikely to be with her.
"Jiang Yamin! Enough!"
Lu Lin shouted, cutting off Jiang Yamin’s rant.
What did this guy come here for, barking madly like a rabid dog.
Most crucially, Lu Lin noticed that Meng Yu’s face was turning purplish, having difficulty breathing, clearly at her limit.
"Jiang Yamin, release my mom!"
Lu Lin suddenly pointed, as Jiang Yamin was about to say something, he suddenly felt his entire body sink.
The solid ground underfoot seemed to turn into a marsh.
Star Skill: Swamp.
Lu Lin seized the moment, channeling Star Power to his legs.
Star Martial: Inch Step.
As Jiang Yamin shifted his attention to his feet, the hotel’s tiles turned to swamp beneath him, his feet sinking further.
Realizing the danger too late, a fist the size of a small pot appeared before his eyes.
"Die!"
Lu Lin roared in fury, punching Jiang Yamin’s chest strongly.
Star Skill: Earth Shattering.
Jiang Yamin’s chest caved in suddenly, and blood gushed from his mouth as if it cost nothing, spewed out.
He was sent flying by Lu Lin’s immense strength.
No good, Meng Yu was still in his grasp.
Lu Lin rushed forward, grabbed his mom’s arm, carried her on his back, and another kick towards Jiang Yamin.
He used neither Earth Shattering for this kick, relying solely on his own immense strength.
A cracking sound echoed.
Jiang Yamin’s leg bent at an irregular angle, broken.
Before even hitting the ground, Jiang Yamin was kicked even farther by Lu Lin, landing heavily on the ground.
He spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood, not even able to emit a scream before falling into unconsciousness.
This all happened in just a few seconds.
Only Zhao Lei, with a slight nod, showed acknowledgment.
Indeed, Lu Lin was the talent he had his eye on; his use of Star Skill and Star Martial was brilliantly perfect.
Only a minor mistake would have cost him a move, yet Lu Lin managed it all flawlessly.
Suddenly, Zhao Lei remembered, wasn’t Lu Lin supposed to only have two Star Skills: War Cry and Stone Skin?
So where did that Swamp just now come from, and the move where he struck Jiang Yamin’s chest, those were obviously Star Skills...
