Chapter 654 Projection: Killing you all is enough for me alone.
A soldier patted Lie Shi on the shoulder: "Brother Shi, they might be here to negotiate."
"Negotiations?" Lie Shi scoffed. "He's negotiating alone? Without even a flag?"
One hunter shook his head, loosened his bowstring, and said casually, "I thought it was going to be something big. One person? I can handle this by myself. Why would I need twenty people?"
A mage dispersed the magic gathered at his fingertips, crossed his arms, and leaned against a nearby tree: "Alright, alright, stop wasting time. Crack Stone, go up and chop him down with one strike. Let's get going. The captain still needs to meet up with Iron Bone and the others."
"Exactly. One person dares to stop us? Are all the people from mainland China out of their minds?"
Several people echoed this, their tone full of contempt.
In their view, if one person faces twenty people, and doesn't run, hide, or call for reinforcements, then they are just standing there waiting to die.
They couldn't even be bothered to take it seriously—how many levels could an average 9527 player be? Thirty-five? Thirty-six? It's a matter of one hit.
Only the ashes remained silent.
He looked at Lin Tian, his gaze growing increasingly serious.
His crisis perception won't lie to him.
That skill has never given a false alarm, nor has it ever been exaggerated.
At this moment, this skill was triggering an alarm at its highest level ever, which meant that the person in front of him—
very dangerous.
"Shut up." Ash's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unyielding chill.
The laughter in the group stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at the ashes.
Ash didn't look at them. His gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian, never leaving him for a moment.
"Something's off about this guy," Ash said. "Don't let your guard down."
Lie Shi's smile froze on his face.
He looked at Ash's expression, then at Lin Tian, and finally realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
"Captain, you mean...?"
"What I mean is, this could very well be the person who instantly killed Hanren and his group."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
The expressions on the faces of all twenty people changed simultaneously.
Some people gasped, some gripped their weapons tighter, and some instinctively took a half-step back.
Those who were just laughing had their smiles frozen on their faces, turning into embarrassment and tension.
Instantly killing ten members of the Cold Blade Sect—if this person truly did it, then his strength…
Lie Shi's smile vanished completely.
He raised the shield again, his arm muscles tensing, and held it horizontally in front of him, covering most of his body.
His gaze turned serious, and his lips pressed into a thin line.
"Captain, are you sure?" Lie Shi's voice was very low.
"I'm not sure," Ash said, "but I'd rather believe it's true."
He took half a step forward, holding his long sword horizontally in front of him, the tip pointing at Lin Tian, the blade gleaming coldly in the mist.
"Everyone, maintain formation. Lie Shi, you hold the front. Do not attack without my order."
"Understood." Lie Shi's voice also became low.
The formation of the twenty people tightened again.
The tanks' shields were closer together, the damage dealers' weapons were raised higher, the healers' fingers were pressed harder, and the assassins' figures were hidden even deeper.
No one spoke anymore.
All eyes were on that person.
The person standing alone in the mist, expressionless.
......
Lin Tian projected his image onto the group of three-eyed people and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Ha, looks like they've spotted me.
He originally thought these people would be like the previous ten, not noticing anything until he made his move.
Unexpectedly, someone in the team has perception-related skills.
The three-eyed people don't seem to be all useless.
At least the one standing in the middle with a long sword and the one at the front with a shield reacted relatively quickly.
The team immediately reorganized its formation upon sensing danger, without panic or disarray, demonstrating good discipline.
But that's it.
Lin Tian's projected gaze swept over Ash, then over Cracked Stone, and then over the formation of the twenty people.
Then he gently shook his head.
He raised his head, looked at the ashes, and spoke.
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"There's no one else, just me."
Ash's eyes narrowed even more.
Lin Tian continued, "Killing you all is enough for me alone."
The voice was flat, without any hint of boasting.
After hearing this, Lie Shi was first taken aback, and then—he laughed.
This time it was a real laugh.
He laughed so hard he almost fell over, the shield dangling from his hand and nearly dropping it.
He turned around, pointed at Lin Tian with his finger, and laughed so hard he could barely speak.
"You...you heard that?" Lie Shi wiped away tears of laughter. "He said...he said he could kill twenty of us all by himself? Hahahaha!"
Several people in the group also started laughing.
One of the soldiers patted the shield of the man who had broken the stone: "Brother Shi, I think this kid's got a death wish. Why don't you let him run two hundred meters first?"
"Running two hundred meters? Running five hundred meters wouldn't make a difference," another hunter chimed in, taking his bow off his back, pulling the string, and releasing it. "One arrow from me will pin him to the ground."
The mage also regrouped his magic power, blue arcs of light dancing at his fingertips: "Alright, alright, stop wasting time talking to him. Let's finish this quickly and leave. Boss Ironbone is still waiting for us."
Only the ashes remained silent.
He held his long sword horizontally in front of him, the cold glint of the blade reflecting on his face, making his expression look even more gloomy.
He stared at Lin Tian, at that expressionless face, at those emotionless eyes.
wrong.
Something's not right.
When this person said, "There's no one else, just me," their tone was too calm.
It was as calm as if he were talking about something trivial.
If someone is bluffing, their tone won't be so calm—a bluffing person will always reveal some flaws, their voice will rise, their speech will speed up, and their eyes will wander.
But this person didn't.
His voice remained constant throughout, neither too fast nor too slow, neither too loud nor too soft, as if he were reading a trivial notice.
This shows that he wasn't bluffing.
He genuinely believed that killing twenty people by one person was enough.
Ash's palms began to sweat.
"Stone Crack," Ash said, his voice low.
Crackstone was still laughing, but when he heard Ash call him, his smile faded: "What is it, Captain?"
"Don't let your guard down," Ash said. "Something's off about this guy."
Lie Shi glanced at Lin Tian, then at Ashes, and his smile vanished completely.
The captain never says "something's not right" without a reason.
If he said it, there must be a reason.
