Chapter 456: Do You Understand Villains?

A group of muscular ruffians from Hu Tian Gang stormed into the inn, ready to seize all available seats. Yet, there remained one individual in the corner, calmly eating his meal.

“Just eat your food!” He actually had the audacity to tell the Hu Tian Gang members to scram.

Hu Tian Gang was a notorious gang with a fierce reputation; they typically took over inns without a second thought. How could this kid still be here?

“Kid, are you looking to die? We are Hu Tian Gang, an organization you can’t afford to mess with! You dare tell me to roll?”

One of the gang members seethed with anger; it was intolerable to be insulted like this!

But the boy ignored him and resumed eating.

“Alright, today I’ll show you what happens when you cross me!”

With that, the thug grabbed Lin Nuo by the shoulder, preparing to land a punch and teach him a lesson.

However, in an instant, a horrible scream erupted from the thug as he fell to the ground, clutching his lower body and rolling around in agony.

Now, that was a scream if I ever heard one—absolutely brutal.

“That’s what we call yellow.”

The boy stood up, coolly commenting.

His strike was lightning fast; with a smack, he aimed straight for the guy’s sensitive parts.

Now that was truly giving him a taste of something colorful—a fatal hit in a very sensitive area!

The ruffian from Hu Tian Gang writhed on the ground in pain, making everyone watching wince.

With the fuse lit, the boy’s phantom fists ignited a blazing fire of chaos.

The inn was packed with dozens from Hu Tian Gang, completely surrounding the area; it was impossible for this kid to escape through the window or door now.

“Don’t let him get away!”

They immediately set off, a group of them aiming to punish the audacious kid for being so brazen in their territory. Didn’t he have a death wish?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Various sounds of collisions echoed through the inn. They couldn’t even see how the boy made his moves; the front line of thugs collapsed onto the floor in pain, some even clutching their lower bits—it was painful just to watch.

“Beat him up, kill him!”

“Go for it!”

More people rushed in, but again, they ended up down for the count, each one suffering from those fatal hits.

“Punch him!”

“Hit him! Hit him!”

“Hm, punch him!”

“So you two better get in there! What are you afraid of!”

“Why don’t you go first!”

“I did, but not fully. I’ll leave it to you.”

…

The brats of Hu Tian Gang kept shouting, their initial bravado quickly fading as they watched their friends roll around grasping their injured bits, their spirits low.

But they couldn’t lose face; they still had to shout.

“Beat him! Kill him!”

“Hit him!”

No one was brave enough to charge; they only yelled out, completely useless.

Outside the inn, onlookers thought the Hu Tian Gang was beating up innocent civilians, and sighed in sympathy.

“Ugh, those villains are at it again.”

“Poor kid, suffering like that.”

“Let’s not get involved. Let’s just look after our own business.”

Passersby exchanged glances, lowering their voices in fear of trouble.

Meanwhile, inside the inn, after serving up another wave of yellow hits, the boy sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and resumed his meal.

Acting as if nothing had happened, completely unfazed.

“Get lost, you bunch of useless trash!”

Xu Hu exploded with rage, watching as his men failed to even touch the kid, most of them sprawled on the ground, embarrassing him to no end. He pushed through them and approached.

With bulging muscles straining, he closed his massive fist, ready to rumble.

He slammed his hand on the wooden table, instantly shattering it.

“Kid, today is my happy day. I didn’t want to get angry, but since you hurt my brothers, I can’t let this slide. I’m Xu Hu, the boss of Hu Tian Gang. Who are you? State your name.”

Xu Hu demanded fiercely, but Lin Nuo continued eating, ignoring him.

Just let me finish this bite first, will ya?

Xu Hu was furious; how could this kid be so rude?

Boom!

He swung a punch down, but Lin Nuo dodged effortlessly, his agility allowing him to evade.

That punch was so powerful it left a crater in the ground.

All his food went flying!

Quick, he took a last bite of rice from his bowl.

No wasting food!

After finishing, he set the bowl aside, stretching his shoulders and arms.

“Looks like you’re a big bad guy.”

“Heh, I thought you couldn’t tell.”

Xu Hu retracted his hand, sneering while flexing his muscular physique and massive fists.

“Kid, you clearly don’t understand how fierce I am. See my body? My strength? I could easily demolish this place; I could even tear down a mountain!”

“So what? Is it just about strength?” Lin Nuo coldly asked.

“Strength is everything. Everyone must yield to the might of powerful force; strength equals power. My strength even makes so-called righteous men tremble in fear. I’m the infamous villain,” Xu Hu laughed heartily.

“Heh.”

“What are you laughing at? If you have strength, why not compare it with me?”

Xu Hu clenched his fists, eyeing Lin Nuo. The kid looked way outclassed; one punch could knock him out.

Lin Nuo shook his head.

“You’re a villain, but merely cannon fodder.”

“What did you say!” Xu Hu bellowed.

“Do you really understand what a villain is?”

“I have strength, therefore I am the great villain. You, small fry, know nothing! Villains need power! Power is king!”

“No matter how much power you have, you can’t compare to the protagonist. As a villain, relying solely on strength will make you nothing but cannon fodder. Do you understand Dao Fu? Do you know swordsmanship? Do you grasp formations? Do you know about hidden weapons? Newton’s laws? The Lagrange equations? You understand nothing, yet you dare call yourself a great villain? Do you even realize the weight that title carries?”

Lin Nuo found Xu Hu’s arrogant words laughable, and he couldn’t help but raise his voice, echoing loudly.

“Don’t insult it!”

Suddenly, Lin Nuo split into multiple shadows, charging directly at Xu Hu. Furious, Xu Hu slammed the ground, unleashing his strength to scatter Lin Nuo’s shadows.

A hidden weapon flew in, hitting Xu Hu, but his body was like adamantine; the hidden weapon couldn’t even scratch him.

“See? This is power! Hidden weapons can do nothing to me!”

Xu Hu laughed maniacally, throwing punches indiscriminately, but Lin Nuo was fast enough to dodge every blow, retreating outside the inn.

Xu Hu’s muscles bulged, veins popping, as he pursued, each punch packed with immense power capable of shattering nearby houses.

Lin Nuo circled him, closing in, retreating, closing in again, retreating, while Xu Hu kept swinging punches that missed him by a mile.

“Is dodging all you can do?”

“Heh.”

After running in circles, Lin Nuo took the chance to stick a Dao Fu and quickly backed off, creating distance from Xu Hu.

“That’s the power you believe in; it means nothing.”

As he finished speaking, flames erupted around Xu Hu, a violent wind swirling through him, igniting a blaze, followed by a thunderous crash.

Boom!

He was gone.
