Chapter 82: He is a Hero!
Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations
It was 6:30 am in the morning. The morning sun rose from the east as the sun rays illuminated the sky. The first ray of sunlight fell on Ling Yun’s face, which surprisingly gave him a sense of serenity.
“Come quick, someone’s beating up the enforcement officers!”
Most of the stall owners had been scared away by the enforcement officers, but there were pedestrians as well as those who had come out for breakfast or grocery shopping. They all crowded around when they saw that someone had beaten up the enforcement officers.
Even though Ling Yun did not have much of an impression of the enforcement officers, anyone who lived in the city knew what an enforcement officer was.
They obviously would crowd around and watch as their public enemy number one got beaten up on the street!
Li Kun, who was the one Ling Yun had seen shouting through the megaphone in the law enforcement vehicle, had forgotten about his act after seeing Brother Tian and co “confiscating” Liu Li’s vegetables. Instead, he had thrown his megaphone aside and started enjoying the unfolding scene.
A month ago, when Brother Tian had brought Li Kun out on a mission, the perverted Brother Tian began having indecent thoughts the moment he caught sight of the beautiful Liu Li.
Apparently, Liu Li had already been four months pregnant then and her body had already been out of shape. Any normal man would not have indecent thoughts about her, but Brother Tian was different. He was a pervert!
Later on, Brother Tian had an idea. He would carry out missions and find fault with Liu Li for three consecutive weeks. On the third time that he caught her, Brother Tian made an obscure suggestion, that he would no longer trouble her as long as they had a “meet up”.
Liu Li had been extremely confused due to fear and panic right then. She assumed that Brother Tian wanted her to bring him some cigarettes and alcohol as a peace offering, thus, she quickly agreed to the arrangement.
But when Liu Li got home and told her grandmother about it, her grandmother was quick to realize that something did not seem right and advised Liu Li to be cautious of Brother Tian. As she recalled his gaze at her in detail, she was so shocked that she broke out in cold sweat and refused to meet him alone.
Apart from being unable to achieve his goal, he also lost face in front of underlings when Liu Li stood him up. These were the exact reasons that motivated him to plan out today’s incident!
To put it simply, the purpose of today’s mission was to help Brother Tian settle Liu Li. Their plan was to force her to the point of retaliation and take her away with the excuse of violent non-compliance. As long as they were able to take her away, Brother Tian would still be able to have his way with her, right?
“Hehe, Wang Bo, come and have a look. Brother Tian is really impatient and already trying to cop a feel, he’s touching…”
Li Kun had gotten so excited the moment he saw Brother Tian and two other enforcement officers surround Liu Li, his eyes turned red and he could not help himself as he told Wang Bo, the driver.
But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ling Yun dash towards Liu Li. Li Kun was unable to make out Ling Yun’s movements and before he knew it, he saw the five of them, including Brother Tian, fly across the road.
“Sh*t, something happened, get out of the car!”
Li Kun’s excited expression froze the moment he saw Brother Tian getting beaten up.
Who was Brother Tian? He was the nephew of Tian Botao, the deputy director of the sub-district office! That fatty dared to lay a finger on him, did he have a deathwish?
“Wang Bo, quickly call for backup. I don’t think that guy is going to be easy to handle!”
Li Kun told Wang Bo right after they got off the car before heading behind to retrieve the riot baton!
It should have been a piece of cake for seven able-bodied men to handle a pregnant woman in the name of the law. Thus, they had only worn their uniforms before driving out and they had not brought along any of their standard gear.
Standard gears such as bulletproof vests, helmets, and cut resistant gloves were all back in the station. Fortunately, they always kept their riot batons under the backseats in case of a rainy day.
“Hey, is this Cutter? Brother Tian is getting beaten up. Bring backup ASAP. Yes, right here. Bring more people!”
Wang Bo quickly hung up the phone and grabbed another 4 riot batons out of the van before running towards Brother Tian along with Li Kun.
By then, Ling Yun had just finished comforting Liu Li and began to walk towards the five enforcement officers who were struggling to get up.
“If a bunch of trashy hooligans like you can be enforcement officers, I’m announcing that from now on, there will be no more enforcement officers on Linjiang Road!”
Ling Yun was not loud, neither was his voice filled with passion. All he did was say a sentence lightly, but the crowd surrounding them saw Ling Yun’s piercing gaze as well as his steady footsteps, and they all knew that Ling Yun was not just scaring the bunch of enforcement officers.
“Kid, you’re mad. Do you know that your statement itself has already broken the law?” Brother Tian was still in such a state of shock, he did not order his underlings to take down Ling Yun immediately.
All of them were able-bodied and had undergone SWAT training. The fact that Ling Yun was able to take them down in the blink of an eye proved that he was not someone to be messed with.
Therefore, Brother Tian was trying to buy time by conversing with him since Li Kun and Wang Bo were still in the car. As long as he bought enough time for the both of them to get over here, they would be able to take Ling Yun down.
Ling Yun chuckled, “Law? Which law states that you guys can randomly destroy other people’s goods and bully a pregnant woman?”
Of course, Brother Tian was rendered speechless, but an idea popped up in his head and he replied shamelessly, “Liu Li is running an unlicensed business which affects the cityscape. She was non-compliant with law enforcement, what’s wrong with arresting her to let her reflect on her mistakes?!”
When people said that enforcement officers had skin thicker than an elephant’s hide, it was certainly not without basis!
Ling Yun saw that he was still shamelessly trying to distort the truth and decided he was too lazy to continue arguing with this piece of junk. Just as he was about to move forward, Ling Yun saw that Li Kun and Wang Bo were running over from the corner of his eye. He also noticed that each of them was carrying 3 to 4 riot batons.
Ling Yun stopped in his tracks. That saves me a lot of trouble, I can settle all of you at one go!
Even when Ling Yun had been in Level 1 of Physique Tempering Stage, facing more than ten Brother Tians would have been a piece of cake. But now, he was already in Level 2!
“Brother Tian, Brother Tian, are you alright? D*mn, this guy dares to resist law enforcement. Unbelievable! Let’s beat him up before bringing him back to the station!”
Li Kun said as he walked towards Brother Tian and Wang Bo arrived soon after.
The five enforcement officers had evil smiles plastered on their faces as they saw Li Kun and Wang Bo running over with weapons and each drew a riot baton from them.
Seven to one. They were also armed with riot batons while Ling Yun was unarmed. This undoubtedly made them believe that they had success within their grasps.
“D*mn, this kid is at a disadvantage…”
“Precisely. Sigh, it’s good to help people out, but you have got to consider who you’re up against. He’s going to be in so much trouble!”
“Eh, isn’t this Ling Yun, the son of Doctor Qin from The People’s Clinic? Last night, he…”
Obviously, someone in the crowd had witnessed how Ling Yun and Tang Meng had taken care of Tian Botao last night.
Brother Tian felt a lot better with a riot baton in his hand. He shot Ling Yun an evil glare as he lightly slapped the baton on his left palm repeatedly.
“Kid, don’t you know who my uncle is? Next time, think twice about your capabilities before you try to save the damsel in distress! Charge!”
Right as those words left his mouth, he raised his baton and aimed it at Ling Yun’s head!
“Well then, let’s see who’s more capable here!” Ling Yun did not dodge but instead raised his left fist against the baton that was crashing down.
In addition to his Level 2 of Physique Tempering Stage, Ling Yun’s body had also undergone modification from the Dayan Great Stars Technique. He was interested in trying out his body to see how strong it had gotten.
That was why he did not opt for any trickery this time, but instead chose to meet force with force!
A loud *pang!* was heard as Ling Yun landed a solid punch on the riot baton!
How strong was Ling Yun right now? At full strength, his punch knocked Brother Tian’s baton out of his hand and onto his head at lightning speed!
“…”
“Ah…”
Brother Tian had fractured his right wrist and cracked his skull, his head was bleeding uncontrollably. All it took was one strike for Ling Yun to destroy him completely and drain him of all fighting spirit.
Ling Yun won the fight with one punch but instead of following up his victory, he chose to draw back his fist to inspect it.
“Hmm, zero injuries, but it still hurts a little. Guess I’m not there yet!” Ling Yun muttered to himself quietly.
It was then that the other six batons whirred loudly as they came crashing down on his head!
Ling Yun could not help but squint as his expression turned dark when he saw the speed and strength of the six batons!
These six people were not holding back at all, they intended to beat him to death!
Most of the people surrounding them had already closed their eyes out of fear as they could not stand the sight of Ling Yun shedding blood. Liu Li had gotten off the trishaw long ago and let out a cry when she saw that Ling Yun was about to get beaten to death!
Ling Yun’s lips curled upwards into a smile that was filled with disdain. He ducked his head at lightning speed and reached out with both of his hands to grab onto Brother Tian’s body before using him as a shield!
*Pang pang pang pang…*
One could tell that the batons had landed solidly just by the sound of it! That was true power, that was true might!
But fortunately, all six batons had landed on Brother Tian’s body!
“Ah…” Brother Tian’s head, shoulders, chest, and arms had all suffered heavy blows!
Ling Yun casually dropped Brother Tian’s body to the side before attacking the six dazed enforcement officers!
Ling Yun’s attacks were as quick as lightning. None of them was able to dodge nor withstand a hit from Ling Yun. It was as if he was a tiger among a flock of sheep. He had beaten all six of them to the ground in less than 30 seconds!
This time…was different from the other time when Ling Yun was saving Liu Li. After all six of them collapsed to the ground, not a single one of them was able to get back up.
All six of the degenerates howled in pain as they rolled around on the ground.
Due to the fact that Ling Yun had just achieved the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Level 2, he was aware that he possessed an insane amount of strength but had never gotten the opportunity to test it out. Thus, he only had used a small amount of strength when he was saving people for fear that he might accidentally kill someone!
As much as he was a rookie, he knew that this was a society governed by the law. If he really did kill someone out here on the streets, even Tang Meng’s father would be unable to cover for him. But after testing it out just now, Ling Yun immediately knew how much strength he had and how to control it.
The onlookers’ worrisome expressions immediately switched to surprise and admiration when they saw how Ling Yun beat seven people to the ground alone like a ferocious beast in the blink of an eye!
“He…He’s amazing! One to seven and he won effortlessly!”
“What a hero! Someone finally beat up the enforcement officers. The deserved it since they always abuse their powers by bullying us common folks!”
“Hero! He is our hero!”
“How satisfying would it be to beat them up! If I had his skills, I’d definitely torture the enforcement officers every single day!”
“Precisely, I’ve had enough of their abuse! Good beating! Truly satisfying!”
As Ling Yun listened to the people’s praises that sounded more like them venting their anger, not a hint of pride could be seen on his face. Only an inexplicable sadness could be seen in his eyes. “Turns out your hatred for the enforcement officers was at such an extreme level!”
