At this moment, he transformed into the cruelest devil, tearing away the disguise of daylight.
Even though his underlings were cold-blooded and ruthless, accustomed to strange sights, witnessing this tragic scene still struck a chord deep within them.
Had they been in the same position, what gratitude could they offer? Perhaps, only in that moment would they truly understand.
Just as everyone thought that Lin Yifan's neck would be gushing blood and his death was certain, a strange phenomenon occurred. After the glass shards slashed across his neck, not a single scratch appeared on Lin Yifan's skin, which shocked everyone present.
"How can this be? Why isn't he injured?"
"Boss! Were you just joking around or was that for real?"
"Do I look like I have the time to joke with you guys?" Azure Dragon, the boss, replied irritably.
To tell the truth, he too was shocked by the scene.
He had indeed exerted his full strength, and any flesh and blood should have been sliced open; but why did this bizarre incident happen? Could Lin Yifan be a robot?
To verify his speculation, he slashed a few more times, only to find the same result. Lin Yifan's neck still bore no trace of injury.
The underlings thought their boss was playing with them, so they also pulled out their own glass shards and fiercely cut at Lin Yifan's neck, only to discover that the situation was the same—Lin Yifan's neck was unscathed.
It was then that they believed what their boss had said.
"Damn, is his neck made of stone? Why is it so hard and unbreakable?"
"Forget about it, go for other parts," Azure Dragon, the boss, commanded.
Slitting the throat was the quickest and simplest way to kill Lin Yifan, but going after other vital areas could also be lethal, albeit a bit longer and noisier.
So, Azure Dragon, the boss, and his underlings divided the work, slashing Lin Yifan's head, wrists; stabbing his stomach, penetrating his heart, and so on—any place that could bring death, they tried.
After a bout of chaotic slashing and stabbing, they found Lin Yifan was still safe and sound, without a single injury.
"This is really strange, why can't we break this kid's flesh?" Azure Dragon, the boss, was at a loss for words and was even starting to give up on the idea of killing Lin Yifan.
"Boss, what should we do now?" the underlings asked.
After busying themselves for a while, they were panting and getting tired.
"Use a pillow to cover his mouth and nose, let him suffocate to death," Azure Dragon, the boss, answered.
He refused to believe Lin Yifan was a machine; as long as Lin Yifan was human, he needed to breathe. Cutting off his access to outside air, he wanted to see how Lin Yifan could survive.
This was a malicious method, and the underlings felt it was the last resort. They promptly fetched a pillow, prepared to kill Lin Yifan.
Just then, Lin Yifan, who had been sound asleep, suddenly spoke, "Staying up so late, are you courting death?"
While the voice was soft, it was clear and distinct in the quiet night.
Everyone was startled, including Azure Dragon, the boss. They didn't know if Lin Yifan was awake or sleep-talking because his eyes were still closed, and he hadn't made a move to strike back. He just spoke those chilling words.
"B-Boss, what... what should we do now? Should we continue to finish him?" the underlings asked tremblingly.
This phenomenon was too horrifying, especially in the dead of night.
Azure Dragon, the boss, hesitated for a moment before answering, "Do it!"
He concluded that Lin Yifan must have been sleep-talking; otherwise, he would have already risen to resist or attack them.
Upon receiving the order, the underlings immediately lunged with the pillow, smothering Lin Yifan's face, intending to suffocate him.
However, as soon as the pillow was in place, several screams erupted.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The underlings near Lin Yifan were the first to fall, and before the others could react, Lin Yifan struck again, laying the rest of the underlings flat on the ground.
All this was accomplished in the blink of an eye, Lin Yifan easily handled six muscular underlings without breaking a sweat.
Now, only the astonished boss of Azure Dragon remained.
"What's with the gaping mouth? Never seen a handsome guy before?" Lin Yifan asked.
Azure Dragon's boss swallowed hard, Lin Yifan was too abnormal, so abnormal that he dared not provoke him.
Extraordinary skills were one thing, but to be impervious to swords and guns, how was he to deal with that? Even with a dagger, he couldn't kill Lin Yifan.
At this moment, he felt both regret and fear, unsure of what to do.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Lin Yifan asked angrily.
This frightened the boss of Azure Dragon, who was already in shock.
After calming his nerves, Azure Dragon's boss immediately answered, "I've never seen a handsome guy as handsome as Brother Lin."
Now, brownnosing was his strategy, hoping to avoid punishment.
However, his calculations were off; Lin Yifan didn't punish him right away, of course, he was saving the heaviest act for him.
So while scolding, Lin Yifan kicked him, sending him flying.
"Liar!"
"Didn't you see one this morning?"
Azure Dragon's boss flew backward, crashing hard into the solid wall.
At that moment, he felt the Blood Sea within his body churn, a stifling sensation in his chest; the next second, he could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Cough cough!"
After coughing a few times, he managed to stabilize his injury.
It was terrifying, truly terrifying; Lin Yifan's methods were even more decisive and cruel than his; today, he had met his match.
"Are you dead?" Lin Yifan asked from the bed, sounding annoyed.
"No... No!" gasped Azure Dragon's boss in pain.
Now, with excruciating pain in his chest, he was extremely uncomfortable and dared not offend Lin Yifan any further.
"If not, then crawl over here! And remember, crawl, not walk!" Lin Yifan ordered.
Azure Dragon's boss, humiliated to the point of having no temper, immediately crawled over in pain.
He was a man meant for great things; he wouldn't mind such humiliating punishment outwardly, only harboring resentment in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to return all the humiliation he received that night tenfold.
Seeing the boss crawl over like a groveling dog, the underlings felt uncomfortable; after all, the boss had been good to them, but they could only watch, powerless, a truly frustrating feeling.
They directed all their hatred towards Lin Yifan, swearing to take his life.
Dreams are lush, reality is stark; they were now defeated and had to obey Lin Yifan's orders, no chance for revenge.
Azure Dragon's boss's "obedience" was expected by Lin Yifan. Such a scheming person was sure to be able to take it as well as let it go, with a skin thicker than the soil beneath his feet.
"Hmm!!! Good, very good!" Lin Yifan praised.
