A few people exchanged glances, their faces showing lewd expressions. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; these scoundrels were of the same ilk.
Just then, a patrol member said, "Boss, these two are Americans."
"What's wrong with them being Americans? I'm an American too! This is Hell Paradise Island, not America! Besides, there are no cameras here. As long as we do things cleanly, what can the Americans do about it!" Rooney said dismissively, and the others immediately gave chase.
"You two up ahead, stop right there!"
Rooney had a booming voice, like a braying donkey.
Ling Tian heard this and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I wanted to let these guys go, but since they're looking for death, I'll oblige! You don't need to do anything, let me handle it!" Ling Tian said to Aurora.
Aurora nodded. This woman, as cold as an iceberg, was now like a young girl in love.
The two turned around, and Ling Tian arrogantly asked, "What do you want?"
"I don't think you two are Americans at all. I suspect you're spies! I order you to put your hands on your heads, squat on the ground, and submit to our investigation, or face death!"
Rooney's plan was brilliant. As soon as Ling Tian complied, he would have his men tase Ling Tian to death with stun batons, then knock out the woman... and finally, dispose of the bodies and erase all evidence.
"I don't know what you want, but I can sense that you don't mean me any good! I warn you, don't make any rash moves, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Kid, do you know who you're talking to! I'm Rooney, and I can walk sideways on this Hell Paradise Island!"
"Walk sideways? Aren't those people disabled?" Ling Tian feigned ignorance.
"Kid, you're looking for death!"
The guard holding the net gun aimed it directly at Ling Tian and fired. A fist-sized object flew towards Ling Tian. This was the net rope, and as it flew, a large net rapidly opened, lunging at Ling Tian.
In the blink of an eye, Rooney and the others saw a blur. Ling Tian had already shifted his body more than two meters to the side of the road. He kicked a trash can by the roadside, and the trash can flew up, directly into the net. The immense force deflected the net, preventing Aurora, who had been standing next to Ling Tian, from being affected.
"Clang!"
The net rope ensnared a large trash can and crashed into the corner of the wall!
At this moment, the patrol team members were stunned. Everything they had just witnessed felt like a dream.
"Is that... Superman?" one patrol member murmured.
Ling Tian looked coldly at the patrol member.
"I told you not to cause trouble, but you wouldn't listen! The consequence of not listening is only one: you will pay a heavy price!"
Just then, Rooney stepped forward, "You dare to touch my men without asking my permission!"
Ling Tian burst into laughter, completely baffling the other man.
"What are you laughing at!"
"I'm laughing at your stupidity. Why would I ask for the opinion of a dead man!"
"You, you're asking for death!"
Rooney was thoroughly enraged by Ling Tian. His body erupted with power, and he threw a punch at Ling Tian! Rooney was indeed formidable, his punch as fast as lightning, his entire body leaving afterimages. Ling Tian could feel the gust of wind generated by his punch even from more than a meter away. Rooney was brimming with confidence, believing he could kill the man before him with a single punch.
But in the next second, Rooney was utterly dumbfounded. He watched as his fist struck Ling Tian, but the sensation in his hand was as if he had hit empty air! The figure before him had vanished. Only then did he realize he had struck an afterimage!
At that moment, Ling Tian had already appeared beside him, raised his right hand, and delivered a palm strike to Rooney's neck. With a crack, Rooney's cervical spine snapped, and his body crashed heavily to the ground. The other four patrol members were dumbfounded.
These boxers, to increase their resistance to blows, had undergone extensive training for their neck muscles. Therefore, almost all boxers had very developed muscles protecting their necks, making their necks several times thicker than ordinary people. Yet, with just one strike from Ling Tian, his cervical spine was broken. What terrifying power!
Ling Tian turned around and looked at the remaining four patrol members. One of them, unable to withstand the terror, suddenly shouted, "Grab that woman, take that woman into custody!"
The others heard this and thought it made sense. They rushed towards Aurora. In their eyes, they were no match for Ling Tian, and judging by Ling Tian's decisive actions, he wouldn't let them off the hook.
Seeing this, Ling Tian shook his head helplessly, thinking that they were choosing the path to hell when there was a way to heaven. Aurora was not someone they could deal with.
As expected, the moment the four men got within a meter of Aurora, a beam of white light suddenly shot out from her. After this white light flashed, the four men were covered in white frost, their movements slowing down. Eventually, the four stood frozen in place, completely immobile.
However, these four did not die immediately. They could feel a warmth on their bodies, yet their life force was gradually disappearing.
When a person is in extreme cold, their body subconsciously protects vital organs. Therefore, blood automatically flows back to the heart to maintain its beating and the body's blood circulation. The blood returning to the heart does not last long. After this short period, the blood is circulated to other parts of the body, causing the person to feel warm.
Because they felt warm, they would want to shed their clothes. This is also known as paradoxical undressing. The reason why many people found frozen to death in the wilderness were discovered completely naked is this phenomenon. These four men were experiencing the same sensation. They felt warm, but their bodies were gradually stiffening, and they eventually died in terror and pain, their expressions frozen on their faces!
Ling Tian walked forward and looked at the four men. They were not frozen into ice sculptures, but their bodies were covered in a layer of frost, and they were now dead.
"Huh, Aurora, that's quite interesting!"
