The stinging sensation instantly spread across Zhong Lintian's cheeks.
Touching his face, he felt his entire face about to shatter. He said in disbelief, "You actually hit me? Even my parents never hit me. How dare you!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "This slap is from me to you on behalf of the village chief."
"Besides, your parents haven't hit you, have they? Well, then, this can be considered as making up for your missing fatherly and motherly love."
Zhong Lintian was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.
With bloodshot eyes, he roared, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Immediately, he waved his hand and shouted decisively, "All of you, get him! Beat him to death!"
"Beat him to death! I'll take responsibility if anyone actually dies!"
The bodyguards had already been itching to make a move.
They all cracked their knuckles with loud pops and then stepped forward, charging at Wu Tian like wild beasts, their faces filled with ferocity.
Honestly, the scene was quite terrifying.
If an ordinary person faced this, they would likely be scared out of their wits and flee for their lives.
But Wu Tian was no ordinary person. He calmly watched as two bodyguards rushed to him first, their fists the size of sandbags seemingly accumulating endless power, ready to knock Wu Tian down with a single punch.
In response, Wu Tian simply raised his hands.
The two incoming fists were immediately caught by Wu Tian with ease.
The two bodyguards' expressions changed. Just as they were about to pull their hands back,
Wu Tian casually flung them away. They immediately cried out in alarm and were thrown out.
More bodyguards swarmed towards Wu Tian. Wu Tian faced them all with composure, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.
Amidst the wild onslaught, his movements were fluid and controlled, while the bodyguards couldn't get a grip on him at all.
This scene was very much like tigers attacking a butterfly. No matter how much power the tigers possessed, trying to catch a butterfly was still a fanciful thought.
Seeing that these men couldn't catch Wu Tian, Zhong Lintian became anxious.
He couldn't help but jump and shout, "Hey! What are you doing? Catch him for me!"
"I paid you to come here, not to play around!"
"Hurry up and catch him! Otherwise, I won't pay you!"
Zhong Lintian's urging made the bodyguards increase the intensity of their attack.
But even so, they still couldn't touch Wu Tian, only being toyed with by him.
After toying with them enough, Wu Tian felt a bit bored and didn't want to waste any more time with them.
Spiritual energy surged through his meridians, and he seemed to transform into a cannonball, violently crashing into the bodyguards.
He truly was like a cannonball. Each of those bodyguards weighed over two hundred pounds. An ordinary person colliding with them wouldn't be able to move them.
But after Wu Tian simply brushed past them, they were immediately sent flying, collapsing on the ground unable to get up.
In the front courtyard, bodyguards flew everywhere, and the scene descended into chaos.
Wang Damao was utterly stunned.
He knew Wu Tian could fight, but he never imagined Wu Tian's combat power could be this terrifying!
Although he lacked experience, he could still understand what he was seeing. He knew these bodyguards were formidable opponents.
Yet, Wu Tian dealt with them as easily as an adult dealing with children. This was simply too frightening!
After crashing through the crowd a couple of times, Wu Tian finally stopped in the center of the front courtyard.
He scanned his surroundings. Not a single bodyguard could still stand.
Some bodyguards lay on the ground, some in the fields, and some had even fallen into the river. In short, none of them had a good outcome.
From a distance, it looked like a battle from ancient times, with Wu Tian fighting a hundred enemies, slaughtering ruthlessly, an incredibly terrifying sight.
After dealing with the bodyguards, Wu Tian's gaze fell upon Zhong Lintian.
And his cold voice slowly echoed.
"Hey, your men are all like this. Do you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Zhong Lintian was completely numb.
It wasn't that he didn't know Wu Tian was powerful, but he hadn't been careless either!
To deal with Wu Tian, he had spent so much money and hired so many people, yet how could the outcome still be like this?
Seeing that he remained silent, Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you quite talkative earlier? Why are you silent now?"
"No way, the esteemed Young Master Zhong, are you also afraid sometimes?"
Zhong Lintian's mouth gaped slightly. It took him a long time to finally be able to form words.
He instinctively took a step back and said tremblingly, "H-how can you be so powerful? This is impossible, this is impossible!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you had investigated me very thoroughly?"
"If that's the case, then why are you still asking such questions?"
"Or perhaps, your investigation had problems, and the current situation has exceeded your expectations?"
Zhong Lintian naturally refused to admit this.
After all, he had arrived full of confidence. If he admitted it now, wouldn't that mean he had already lost to Wu Tian?
He said grimly, "Kid, don't be too arrogant. So what if you can fight? If I can spend a million dollars to deal with you today, I can spend two million tomorrow!"
"There's nothing in this world that money can't solve, and I have plenty of money. I can simply crush you with money!"
"Just you wait, I will settle all our scores at once!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I'll be waiting here."
"But speaking of which, we can discuss future matters later. For now, let's resolve the current situation."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell me, how do you plan to deal with the trouble you came to cause me today?"
Although Wu Tian's last sentence was spoken in a mild tone, it was like a sharp knife piercing directly into Zhong Lintian's heart, causing him to tremble involuntarily.
He couldn't help but become vigilant and said, "W-what else do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, don't mess around. If you mess around, you'll definitely die a terrible death!"
Wu Tian sneered, "Don't mess around? Why does that sound so familiar?"
"Oh, right, I remember. Our village chief seemed to have said the same thing to you earlier, telling you not to mess around, didn't he?"
"But what did you do?"
"Now you're telling me not to mess around. Do you think I'll do as you say? Are you taking yourself too seriously?"
