Chapter 169: Dongfang Bubai

Wearing combat boots, carrying a large backpack, and donning sunglasses, Lin Jian toyed with a few nails in his hand as he walked.

He didn’t choose to enter the jungle, nor did he search for Zhang Weihong aimlessly. Although the red circle on the map was small, in reality, it covered dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers. With high mountains, dense forests, and crisscrossing ravines, finding someone would be incredibly difficult even with his Thought.

He needed a more precise location. In other words, he needed a guide! And who could that be? The answer: drug traffickers!

Zhang Weihong and his team had gone abroad for a mission, and since they came to a place like the Northern Golden Triangle, their target was undoubtedly related to the local drug traffickers. Therefore, Lin Jian planned to use the most direct and fastest method to find a local drug ring and then gather specific intelligence!

Walking openly on this dirt road meant he would inevitably run into traffickers ambushing the area. He was swaggering down the dirt road on purpose!

Dongfang Shun, the glutton, lagged about ten meters behind him. It seemed as though he was walking too slowly to keep up with Lin Jian. But in reality, this was a tactical positioning on Dongfang Shun’s part. Lin Jian had long noticed that Dongfang Shun’s Qi and blood flow were steady; he hadn’t even broken a sweat, nor had his heart rate increased! So, Lin Jian knew this Sha Shun was another guy hiding his true strength.

An hour later.

A dark cloud drifted over, and it started to rain! Just as the light rain began, over a dozen armed men with AKs and mismatched clothes suddenly rushed out from the woods on both sides, yelling in an incomprehensible language.

Lin Jian didn’t understand, but he tactfully put his hands behind his head and shouted, "I’m a tourist! I’m lost! I don’t speak your language! Does anyone here speak Chinese?"

Sha Shun also raised his hands, adopting a half-squatting posture, all while his mouth was stuffed with bread, chewing incessantly.

The dozen or so men shouted some more gibberish, but no one answered him. Instead, they approached him and Sha Shun, raising their rifle butts to smash into them!

Right at that moment, Lin Jian suddenly spun around and grabbed one of the men into a reverse chokehold. Then...

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

THWACK THWACK THWACK!

Except for the one in front of Sha Shun, the remaining nine men all collapsed. Each of them had a nail driven into either their eyeball or their temple! The guy in front of Sha Shun had been pushed by him—seemingly just a light shove in resistance—and then he lay motionless on the ground! At the exact same time, Lin Jian decisively snapped the neck of the man in his arms!

Sha Shun looked at Lin Jian, then at Lin Jian’s hand, before taking out his bread and continuing to eat!

Lin Jian glanced at the man who had been "accidentally" knocked down by Sha Shun and discovered that the man’s heart had been shattered! Yes, completely shattered. And this was from Sha Shun just giving him a light shove while pretending to resist! Lin Jian wondered how the hell this guy was an idiot and what kind of idiot could be such a badass.

Lin Jian laughed and said, "Shunzi, toss them into the woods on both sides of the road. Let’s keep moving!"

"Oh." Sha Shun didn’t object. His sister had told him that whatever Lin Jian said was law—if Lin Jian told him to die, he would die—so he just needed to be obedient!

Lin Jian stayed put, watching Sha Shun drag four men with one hand, tossing all the bodies into the woods in just two trips. His hands were almost as large as an old-fashioned rural winnowing basket. That massive palm could cover a person’s entire face.

Once Sha Shun was done, Lin Jian continued forward. Sha Shun followed along, trailing about ten meters behind.

An hour and a half later.

Two open-top jeeps sped toward them from a distance. The vehicles were full of armed men with raised guns. There were over a dozen of them in total. From afar, the men in the cars spotted Lin Jian and Sha Shun walking on the road, and they fired a volley of bullets into the sky as a warning.

"Hands up!" Lin Jian said in a low voice.

Sha Shun still had bread in his hand, so he raised his hands while taking bites of it!

SKRRRT!

The two jeeps stopped in the middle of the road, and everyone piled out, aiming their guns at the two of them. Once again, someone spouted a string of gibberish!

Lin Jian shouted, "I am from China! Does anyone speak Chinese?"

"Huaxia People?" A guy also wearing sunglasses parted the crowd of gunmen and walked over. He seemed to be their leader!

"Yes, yes, yes, we’re Huaxia People. Do you speak Chinese?"

"Heh, how did you get here?" The leader’s Chinese was quite standard and fluent; it sounded as if he were Chinese himself!

Lin Jian thought for a moment. "We just... got here like this!"

SWISH!

He repeated his previous trick, instantly grabbing the leader into a chokehold before shooting out his nails!

Sha Shun squatted swiftly, thrusting his hands out to the left and right. The four men surrounding him were simultaneously sent flying backward!

In two seconds, the scene descended into a deathly silence! Aside from the leader who was still alive, the others didn’t even have the chance to fire their guns. They were all killed in a single strike!

Lin Jian was very satisfied with Sha Shun’s coordination. This guy wasn’t a damn idiot at all, okay? Naturally, Lin Jian no longer felt any discomfort after killing. These men deserved to die, so he bore no psychological burden.

As for the leader, he was nearly wetting his pants! He wondered who these people were. With a wave of a hand, all his men had just dropped dead. They were bleeding either from their eyeballs or their temples! He wondered if this guy knew Magic.

What he didn’t see, however, was that two-and-a-half-inch yellow steel nails had been driven deep into the gunmen’s eye sockets and right into their brains! Therefore, from the outside, it was impossible to tell what had killed them!

As for Sha Shun’s side... combined with his formidable Inner Strength, a slap from this guy’s massive palms would directly shatter your heart into pieces. Forget about the sternum or ribs protecting you. Inner Strength could penetrate physical barriers to strike the target behind them. So without damaging a single rib, it targeted and pulverized your heart! This was the true power of Inner Strength.

Lin Jian disarmed the leader, fishing a knife from the man’s lower back before smiling. "Allow me to introduce myself. My compound surname is Dongfang, and my name is Dongfang Bubai. This is my older brother, Dongfang Shun!"

PFFT!

Sha Shun nearly spat out his breadcrumbs. He knew who Dongfang Bubai was—wasn’t that a damn eunuch? So Jian was also a damn eunuch!

The leader also seemed to understand the significance of the name Dongfang Bubai. With a smile uglier than a crying face, he pleaded, "Dongfang... big brother... sister... spare my life!" He didn’t even know whether to call him brother or sister. He worried that the man might get mad if called a brother. After all, Dongfang Bubai was a freak, and freaks liked being called sister...

"I can spare your life. I have a few questions to ask, but on the condition that you don’t lie to me!"

"Big brother, I’m also Chinese! I’m Chinese too! Chinese don’t lie to Chinese!" This guy was playing the fellow-countryman card!

Lin Jian scoffed at this. Abroad, the Chinese specifically scammed other Chinese. The moment these bastards left the country, they forgot their roots and turned on their own.

"What’s your name?" Lin Jian asked.

"Ma Yuguo."

"Right. Then have you seen a group of six people? They should’ve had a firefight with an armed group around here, and it’s highly likely one of them was captured. Do you know anything about this?"

"I don’t..."

Just as he was about to say he didn’t know, Ma Yuguo quickly shut his mouth. He was terrified—if he said he didn’t know, would he be killed?
