Chapter 614: Chapter 614
Under the moonlight, Lin Chen's silhouette slowly emerged; he stood at the warehouse entrance and instantly spotted An Xiaodi suspended from the warehouse ceiling.
"Lin Chen, just go, don't worry about me."
Upon seeing Lin Chen, An Xiaodi's face suddenly changed and she cried out desperately.
Lin Chen saw An Xiaodi hanging from the ceiling and his expression grew increasingly ugly; he had promised to protect Xiaodi, yet now she was suffering such great harm.
At that moment, Lin Chen's eyes flashed coldly: "Vara, I am giving you a chance to let her go right now."
"Let her go? Haha, Lin Chen, are you mistaken? It's because of you my father died, because of you our Vara clan has fallen. All of these are thanks to you. Today, not only will you die, but this wretched woman will also die here. However, before she dies, I will thoroughly torment her," Vara burst into hysterical laughter, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Lin Chen asked coldly.
Vara pulled out a pistol and aimed it at An Xiaodi: "Do you want her to live? Alright, I'll give you a chance; if you can walk past my brothers' iron rods, I'll let her go."
Hearing Vara's words, An Xiaodi's complexion drastically changed.
This time, Vara had gathered over a hundred Vara clan thugs, each armed with a rod—that meant over a hundred strikes.
It should be noted that these rods were made of steel; receiving over a hundred consecutive strikes, Lin Chen would undoubtedly die.
An Xiaodi's face turned increasingly unsightly as she struggled, shouting: "Lin Chen, don't listen to this jerk; don't worry about me, just go."
"Lin Chen, please, just go and don't worry about me…"
Hearing An Xiaodi yelling, Vara's eyes burst with killing intent, and he unexpectedly unlocked the safety catch of his pistol, ready to shoot at any moment.
"Lin Chen, you care so much about this woman, huh? What, got cold feet? I'll count to three, if you don't start walking, I will shoot immediately," Vara's face showed a bloodthirsty coldness.
Lin Chen's gaze fell on An Xiaodi's tear-streaked face and he said flatly, "No need to count, I agree."
Lin Chen's words, like thunder, made An Xiaodi's delicate body tremble violently.
"No, Lin Chen, please don't, they will kill you," she pleaded desperately, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
Lin Chen looked up at An Xiaodi with a faint smile: "Xiaodi, I promised I'd protect you. What is one hundred iron rods? As long as you are safe, even dying is alright."
An Xiaodi's heart trembled slightly.
"As long as you are safe, even dying is alright…"
At this moment, An Xiaodi was sobbing uncontrollably, gazing at Lin Chen's figure, her heart filled with guilt and sorrow. She had secretly resolved that she would be his woman in this life, no matter life or death.
Lin Chen's face was expressionless as he took the first step.
A rod hit him, immediately tearing his clothes and leaving a deep gash.
Not a ripple showed on Lin Chen's face as he continued to walk forward, his gaze fixed ahead.
"Smack smack smack!" The men in black swung their arms round fiercingly, channeling all their strength into mercilessly smashing their iron rods onto Lin Chen.
Having taken just a few steps, Lin Chen's clothes were already soaked in blood, droplets dripping onto the ground.
This scene shocked everyone present. An Xiaodi struggled continuously, her voice almost hoarse from crying.
But Lin Chen's steps remained resolute, he continued looking ahead, walking step by step.
He had promised to protect An Xiaodi, so no matter what, he was determined to walk this path to the end.
"Lin Chen, you fool, idiot…"
Seeing Lin Chen covered in blood, An Xiaodi felt her heart nearly shatter; she would rather die herself than see her lover tortured .
Looking at Lin Chen's current state, a ferocious smile displayed on Vara's face, his resentful eyes glittering coldly.
"Beat him to death, anyone who kills him, I'll reward with a million!"
Heard Vara's hefty reward, the thugs grew even more vigorous, swinging the iron rods in their hands, crazily smashing them down onto Lin Chen.
A trail of bloodstains spread all over Lin Chen's body, and a stream of blood on the ground continued to extend in the direction Lin Chen was moving forward.
However, Lin Chen's face displayed no ripples of emotion, he clenched his teeth tightly, stepping forward step by step.
Blood incessantly flowed down from Lin Chen's body, his skin having already been beaten raw.
An Xiaodi's heart felt as if it were being torn apart!
"Lin Chen, stop, don't keep going, you'll die if you keep going..."
The iron rods, striking like raindrops on Lin Chen, felt as if they were striking An Xiaodi's heart.
An Xiaodi clenched her teeth tightly, making an important decision at this moment.
"She needed to become stronger, she didn't want to be a burden to Lin Chen anymore, she wanted to become strong like Sister Anna, like Sister Zhao Xiaohua, to become Lin Chen's assistant."
Another iron rod struck Lin Chen, his body staggered, he lurched forward several steps, a mist of blood spraying out, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
Yet another ten or so iron rods brutally smashed down on his body, Lin Chen swayed but still managed to stop.
Lin Chen took his final step and raised his head, his mouth brimming with fresh blood, his eyes fierce like a wild beast as he stared at Vara, "I did it, let Xiaodi go."
A sinister smile appeared on Vara's face, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be this tough, having taken so many hits and still not dead, everybody beat him to death with their clubs."
Hearing Vara's command, those in black rushed towards Lin Chen like fierce tigers, intent on beating him to death with their clubs.
A gleam of cold light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes as he suddenly raised his hand, catching an iron rod aimed at him.
"You've hit enough, now it's my turn," Lin Chen said coldly, and with a fierce effort, the arm of the man in black instantly broke, the iron rod landing in Lin Chen's hand.
Lin Chen, wielding the iron rod, charged through the crowd, the men in black screaming in agony as they continuously fell to the ground.
This moment dumbfounded Vara, "How is this possible, Lin Chen took more than a hundred hits, how could he still possess such formidable combat power?"
Watching his men continuously fall, a cold glint shone in Vara's eyes, he aimed the gun at An Xiaodi.
He prepared to kill An Xiaodi and then flee.
However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, an iron rod, like lightning, pierced through his palm.
"Ah!" Along with a scream of agony, Vara's handgun fell to the ground.
The next instant, Lin Chen leapt and appeared in front of Vara.
Just as Vara started to flee, Lin Chen grabbed the iron rod that had pierced through his palm.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Vara let out pig-like screams of agony.
Lin Chen exerted force, and the iron rod was snapped into two pieces.
Accompanied by Vara's screams of agony, the iron rod in Lin Chen's hand pierced through his legs.
Vara collapsed onto the ground, blood flowing freely, as he looked up at Lin Chen, his eyes filled only with endless fear.
